This video quiz was created using the Autoquiz function of the quiz creator, which uses the subtitles of the video to generate a quiz in the topic of your choice. I chose the topic of "Passive in simple tenses", and added some active voice questions alongside the machine-generated ones. I've also manually included the infinitives in brackets.

The objective of the lesson is to train students in the use of passive in simple tenses (present, past, future). To make the task challenging, I've included active sentences, too so that the task does not become a simple grammar drill. I've also delayed popping up the questions a bit, so that the audio wanes a bit and there's a better chance that they will need to rely on their knowledge of grammar and not simply write down what they have just heard.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Jennifer Jacquet explain overfishing and its effects on ecosystems, food security, jobs, economies, and coastal cultures.
