Frequent use of “Passive Sentence”.

Use of “be”: is, am, are, was, were for the classification.

Use of verb “have”: have, has, had, in order to give detail description.

Often accompanied by photos, diagrams, maps and illustrations.


Example

Tyrannosaurus rex, sometimes just called T-rex, is believed to


be the largest and most fearsome predator on Earth's land ever
to have existed. This dinosaur once roam the Earth in the
Creataceous period approximately 68 to 65 million years ago.

As a carnivorous dinosaur, this giant predator most likely


ambushed their prey, and devoured them with jaws full of white
sharp teeth. With it's fast ability to run at an astonishing speed
of 32 mph (50 kmh), a perfect slim and stiff tail that gave it an
excellent balance and allowed it to make quick turns, equipped
this gigantic predator and made it even more deadly, like a killing
machine.
