Passives

DE ACTIE  staat vooraan. NIET wie het doet

What makes a sentence passive?

The combination of 'to be' + past participle (volt. dlw) makes a sentence passive

The woman is bitten (by the dog).

The wound was stitched (by the doctor).

Wanneer gebruik je de passive?

De passive wordt gebruikt als de nadruk niet ligt op wie iets doet, maar wel op wat er gedaan wordt. De handeling is belangrijker dan degene die het doet. Of: je weet helemaal niet wie het doet. Bijvoorbeeld:

The package was delivered yesterday. (het doet er niet toe door wie).

My bike has been stolen. (je weet niet door wie)

Hoe herken je een passive?

1. Staat er een vorm van 'to be'?
   (am/are/is/was/were/have been/ has been/ had been/is being/etc.)
2. Staat daarna een voltooid deelwoord? (played, broken etc.)
3. Staat daarna 'by ....'? Zoniet, kun je 'by zombies' erachter 
   zetten?

Als aan deze 3 voldaan is  -->  het is een passive!

The poor girl was killed (by zombies).

From active to passive...

Om een actieve zin passief te maken, moet het lijdend voorwerp vooraan in de zin komen te staan, als onderwerp van de passieve zin.

The cat chases the mouse.

'The mouse' wordt onderwerp van de passieve zin --> komt vooraan te staan

'chases' is een present simple --> present simple van "to be" --> is

gevolgd door het voltooid deelwoord van 'chase' --> chased

The mouse is chased by the cat.
