What is the passive?

The passive or passive sentences are sentences where the subject of the sentence is not the one doing the thing.

Let's look at an example

Slide 6 - Slide

Why would you use passive sentences?

De Passive Voice gebruik je wanneer je extra focus wil leggen op wat gedaan wordt, in plaats van wie het doet. Bijvoorbeeld omdat wie het doet niet belangrijk is (1), of omdat je het niet wilt vertellen (2):
1. The door was closed.
2. The disher were done.
      (by James, but I'm going to pretend I did it myself)

How do you make passive sentences?
Making sentences passive can be done in a few easy steps. Let's use the sentence "Eric is doing the dishes right now"

There are 3 things we need to know and 4 things we need to do.

Slide 8 - Slide

Things we need to know
Eric is doing the dishes right now.

1. What is the tense of the sentence?
2. What is the object of the sentence?
2. Who is doing the thing?

Slide 9 - Slide

Things we need to do
Eric is doing the dishes right now.

1. Turn the object into the subject.
2. Change the active verb into the past participle form.
3. Add a form of to be in the same tense as the original sentence.
4. If we know who is doing the thing, add "by <person>" before the where and when of the sentence. (This is optional)
