Thing9, podcast
I subscribed to Grammar Girl Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing. I understand computers, math, science, but language I get a total mental block. The podcast I signed up for was 390GG Passive Voice. I have been in the computer lab many times with the language teaches they are working with students and I hear "passive voice" quite frequently, so I choice this particular podcast. I learned that is and was are only clues to passive voice, they are not for sure identifying passive voice. A true trick is if you can add "by me" at the end of the sentence will mean it is passive.
They are nice quick lessons. The one that I listened to was just over 4 minutes. It is a type of thing that I could listen to on the way to work in the morning.
