چه زمانی از ساختار مجهول استفاده میکنیم؟ از ساختار مجهول زمانی استفاده میکنیم که خودِ عمل مهمتر از فاعل آن باشد. این معمولاً وقتی اتفاق میافتد که: - فاعل مشخص نیست - فاعل مهم نیست - یا نمیخواهیم فاعل را ذکر کنیم مثالها: - When I was a student, my house was burgled. (خانهام دزد زده شد – مهم نیست چه کسی دزد بوده) - The shop was being broken into. (داشتند به مغازه دستبرد میزدند – فاعل نامشخص است)
