Passive voice 

De passive voice (lijdende zin) wordt gebruikt als de focus ligt op de actie en niet op wie die actie ondernomen heeft. 

Wanneer je de zin van active (bedrijvend) naar passive brengt veranderd het voorwerp in het onderwerp. Een vorm van to be en het voltooid deelwoord wordt toegevoegd.

Passive voice 

Active: I close the door. = Passive: the door is closed (by me) 

Active: I am reading the newspaper. = Passive: the newspaper is being read (by me). 

(by me) staat tussenhaakjes omdat je dit weg kunt laten uit de zin.
