What happened to him?
By Terry Fredrickson
The video clip in this lesson is a funny advertisement for the Toyota Vios. It begins with a jogger who is out for an afternoon run. Everything seems normal until something catches his attention. That's when thing become very abnormal (not normal). What do you think happened to the jogger?( Notice that the choices below use the passive voice because something happened to the jogger.)
a. He was picked up by a beautiful woman driving a Toyota Vios.
b. He was given an envelop by a strange-looking man which contained a key for a Vios.
c. He was taken by aliens into a spaceship with the shape of a Toyota Vios.
d. He was captured by a sea monster while looking at a Vios.

If you have a short video or an idea that you think would work to illustrate an English verb form, you can connect us through twitter or contact me directly at: [email protected]
If you have a finished video, you can upload it to a site like Youtube so we can have a look at it. We can then embed it on a page on our site as well. Make a short lesson together with your video so users can understand the main point.
You can also point out videos that you find online that might be useful for understanding verbforms.
