How do you change an active sentence to a passive one?
Je maakt de passive door de juiste vorm van ‘to be’ + het voltooid deelwoord te gebruiken. Het voltooid deelwoord is dus ww+ed, of het 3e rijtje van een onregelmatige werkwoord.
Step 1: Ask yourself if the sentence is written in the present tense or the past tense.
Present> choose is / are / am /being / been
Past> choose was / were / being /
Step 2: Get rid of the subject in the sentence and add the verb of 'to be' (from step 1) to the verb written in the active sentence.
Ex: Mike walked the dog yesterday. (past tense)
The dog was walked yesterday.
