Без знания страдательного залога в английском языке крайне трудно понимать рекламные тексты, инструкции и заголовки газетных статей. Он просто необходим в обсуждении спорных и неприятных ситуаций, когда не хотят обвинять кого-то конкретно или же стараются снять с себя всякую ответственность. Пассивные конструкции также придают высказыванию более вежливый характер. Они часто используются в деловом общении и в различной документации.
Если необходимо работать с описанием правил, законов или научных процессов на английском языке, без этой темы никак не обойтись, поскольку информация подается объективно и независимо от личного мнения говорящего. Сообщать выводы от своего лица крайне нежелательно.
