When international companies and organizations developed, English was often chosen as a working language of European Central Bank, although the bank is in Germany. In Asia and the Pacific, nine out of ten international organizations work only in English.
English is important not because it has more firstlanguage speakers than other languages (Chinese has more) but because it is used extremely widely. Will this situation continue?

A
The use of the "get-passive" (e.g., "they got married") is highly recommended in formal academic dissertations as a substitute for the verb "be" to avoid repetition of auxiliary forms.
B

C
The transformation of a sentence from active to passive voice requires that the direct object of the active sentence becomes the auxiliary verb of the new passive structure.
D
In sentences with two objects (direct and indirect), only the direct object can become the subject of the passive sentence, making the indirect object remain in its original position after the verb.
E
Intransitive verbs, such as "happen", "rise", and "sleep", can be freely transformed into the passive voice provided that the agent is identified by the prepositional phrase started by "by".
