    The document discusses the use of the past tense "used to" to describe past habits that no longer occur, such as "I used to go to work" or "I didn't use to take care of a baby." It also explains passive voice, where the object of an active sentence becomes the subject in passive form, such as "The plants are watered (by my dad)" instead of "My dad waters the plants." Examples are provided to illustrate how to form the passive voice using different verb tenses, like "Our flat was cleaned" or "Our flat is being cleaned."
