The passive voice in English
Main article: English passive voice

English, like some other languages, uses a periphrastic passive. Rather than conjugating directly for voice, English uses the past participle form of the verb plus an auxiliary verb, either be or get, to indicate passive voice.

The money was donated to the school.
The vase got broken during the fight.

The active voice is the dominant voice in English at large. Many commentators, notably George Orwell in his essay "Politics and the English Language" and Strunk & White in The Elements of Style, have urged minimizing use of the passive voice. However, the passive voice has important uses. Jan Freeman of The Boston Globe states "[a]ll good writers use the passive voice" – including Orwell and Strunk & White themselves, in the sections of their essays criticizing the passive voice.[6] There is general agreement that the passive voice is useful for emphasis, or when the receiver of the action is more important than the actor.[7]

English

Static passive auxiliary verb: be (the "be-passive")

Dynamic passive auxiliary verb: get (the "get-passive")

Note that for some speakers of English this is not accepted and is considered colloquial or sub-standard.

The grass is cut (static)

The grass gets cut (dynamic)

From wikipedia

I suppose it is a homework so you better try it yourself, it is easy at least in English.

Once again, we, Belgian soccer fans, have no team to root for in the Euro 2012 tournament. Once again, we are orphaned, wandering through the streets without colours, without flag. We will watch the games, but we won't taste the heat of the fight, the tension between victory and defeat.

Unless...

Our facebook group and all its members will be put for sale on ebay, and all profits will go to Unicef. The highest bidder can choose what country we will be rooting for during Euro 2012. We will instantaneously become huge fans of his or her team. Yes, even if that means Holland.

Somes like that :>

Po raz kolejny, my, fani Belgijskiego futbolu nie mamy drużyny na Mistrzostwach Europy. Po raz kolejny zostaliśmy piłkarskimi sierotami, będziemy wędrować po ulicach bez barw narodowych, bez flag... Będziemy oglądać mecze na tym turnieju, ale nie zaznamy gorączki walki, nie zaznamy napięcia pomiędzy zwycięstwem a goryczą porażki.

Chyba że...

Nasza grupa na Facebook'u i wszyscy jej członkowie zostaną wystawieni do sprzedaży na ebay, a cały dochód zostanie przekazany na rzecz UNICEF. Właściciel najwyższej oferty będzie mógł wybrać jaki kraj będzie dopingowany przez nas podczas Euro 2012. Natychmiast staniemy się wielkim fanem jego bądź jej drużyny. Tak, nawet jeśli to oznacza doping dla Holandii.

Thanks Gusztáv

Yes, even if that means Holland.

Holland is like an infinite times better than Belgium, why wouldn't you support them?:))

I would be very appreciated for translation those sentences into arabic:
"Could you be so kind and send me player ... skills? I need it to update U21 team skills. Kind regards."
