Cambridge CELTA Language Analysis Sheet Example

This document provides an example of a language analysis sheet used for a CELTA course. The analysis focuses on two example sentences using the passive voice: (1) "Hortena was fined 130€" and (2) "18,000 accidents are caused by armchairs." Potential problems students may have with meaning, form, and pronunciation are identified. Suggested solutions include stressing that only the verb "be" determines tense in the passive, drilling the forms of "be," and highlighting how the "-ed" ending is pronounced depending on the preceding sound.
