Passive Voice Dictation: Present Processes

Listen for is or are before the action word. The sentence tells you what happens to the thing at the start. It may be made, cleaned or checked by someone who is not named. Is goes with one thing, and are with more than one. Keep these short words even if the action word sounds much stronger. You may also hear when the work happens or how often. Write that part too. Do not turn the sentence into one about the person doing the job.
