Hi, all

I'm planning a lesson for my TESL students and I'm looking for some authentic learner errors with passive voice. I'd especially like examples of overuse of the long passive (i.e., with a 'by'-phrase), but any errors would be welcome. Please, note: I do NOT want contrived examples, but if you would share some learner-produced examples, I'd be very much in your debt.

Best,
Brett
