we need to do something with the subject and the object to make a passive sentence. Remember that! 

Which sentence is passive?

2. Last month my father bought a book for me

Choose the correct Passive:

Kate ate my sandwich.

The police caught the thief.

They built this house a few years ago.

He paints his room every year.

Update in our search: 

We now know we have to change the order of the sentence to make it passive. And we have to use was/is/are/am. 

When do you use the passive?

1. when the action is more important
2. when the person doing it is more important

Now, what do you think the rule is?

The rule: 

a form of TO BE + Voltooid deelwoord

We use a passive sentence to emphasize on the action instead of the person/thing doing it. And we always use the same tense!

How to make an active sentence passive?

Step 1: find subject, verb and object.

Step 2: Make object new subject.

Step 3: add a form of ''to be'' after the new subject.

Step 4: finish the sentence.
