Hi,
Active: They are building new houses outside the town.
1. New houses are being built by them outside the town
2. New houses are being built outside the town by them.
Does the order matter in passive sentences like this one? I mean do we change the order of passive voice only for putting more emphasis or does it deal with the naturalness of the sentence as well.
I mean in the following example, it is told that number 1 is less natural than the second one.
1. Lots of cars are made by them in Korea.
2. Lots of cars are made in Korea by them.
Then how about the first example? Which one is more natural? or can we choose either of them depending on our emphasis?
