    The document outlines three grammatical structures - active and passive voice, causative constructions, and reported vs direct speech. It provides examples for each, such as "I will have my room redecorated by the company" as an active sentence and "My room will be redecorated by the company" as the equivalent passive sentence. Reported speech examples show changing "I hate Mondays" to "She said that she hated Mondays" and direct versus reported forms of "She admitted hating Mondays."
