Choose the best option. We use the passives when we do not care or know about the subject.
- A.
True

Passives are used when the subject of the sentence is not important or unknown. In passive voice, the focus is on the action being done rather than the doer of the action. This allows the speaker to emphasize the action itself rather than who is performing it. Therefore, the statement that "we use the passives when we do not care or know about the subject" is true.Rate this question:
