The passive 
  • As you have learnt from the grammar reader, the passive is a good form to use in your writing.
  • It is also a requirement to use the passive during your fake news project. That is why we wil be paying a little more attention to the passive.
  • For example, it’s better to say:
  • ” Weapons have been sold by the army” 
  • than “the army has sold weapons”.

From active to passive...
Om een actieve zin passief te maken, moet het lijdend voorwerp vooraan in de zin komen te staan, als onderwerp van de passieve zin.
The cat chases the mouse.

'The mouse' wordt onderwerp van de passieve zin --> komt vooraan te staan
'chases' is een present simple --> present simple van "to be" --> is
gevolgd door het voltooid deelwoord van 'chase' --> chased
The mouse is chased by the cat.
