This video quiz was created with the Autoquiz creator ("Create a quiz in 1 click"). I took a video with a human-created subtitle, chose the topic of 'Passive in all tenses' and generated a quiz. Then I manually added some active voice questions alongside the machine-generated passive ones using the subtitle box in the editor. I've also inserted the infinitives in brackets by hand.

The objective of the lesson is to train students in the use of passive in the past simple tense through 15 questions (gapfill, multiple choice, correct the wrong word), including one item in the passive infinitive ("to be confused"). Students have to decide if the infinitive in brackets should be in the active or passive form.

I've delayed popping up each of the fifteen questions with a few seconds to let students' auditory memory fade and make them rely on their knowledge of grammar, rather than their ears.

OK is thought to be the most widely recognized word on the planet. We use it to communicate with each other, as well as our technology. But it actually started out as a language fad in the 1830’s of abbreviating words incorrectly. Young intellectuals in Boston came up with several of these abbreviations, including “KC” for “knuff ced,” “OW” for “oll wright,” and KY for “know yuse.” But thanks to its appearance in Martin Van Buren’s 1840 presidential re-election campaign as the incumbents new nickname, Old Kinderhook, OK outlived its abbreviated comrades. Later, widespread use by early telegraph operators caused OK to go mainstream, and its original purpose as a neutral affirmative is still how we use it today.
