Holes, by Passenger



1) Listen and write down all the sentences with the verb 'have got'.
2) What do the statements with the word 'hole' mean? Rephrase them to make their meaning clear.
3) In small groups, ask each other whether you've got any holes in your hearts or your pockets.

Watch this second video. There are examples of passive sentences, basically in the present and the past. How do you know what the tense of a passive is?


Do you need a more contextualised presentation of the passive? Have a look at these.

Needless to say you can watch the video as many times as necessary.
