Slide 6 - Question ouverte

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.
