What do you know
about the 'passive'?

Passive

De lijdende vorm

Het is niet belangrijk wie wat doet, maar wat er met iets gedaan wordt. 

Active: John reads a book.

Passive: A book is read by John. 

Active: They have cancelled all flights. 

Passive: All flight have been cancelled. 

1.

Als je een bedrijvende (active) zin omzet naar een lijdende (passive) zin, moet je ervoor zorgen dat de zin in dezelfde grammaticale tijd blijft staan. 

When changing a sentence from active to passive (or passive to active) make sure you use the same tense!!

2.

Er staat altijd een vorm van 'to be' in de zin. 'to be' wordt vervoegd zodat het in de juiste grammaticale tijd staat. Hierna komt altijd het voltooid deelwoord. 

Passive

To be (in the correct tense) + past participle

Passive

Do ex. 16 on pages 67-68 in your notebook. 

No more than 3 mistakes?

Then you can choose to start on your homework: 

Study vocab 2.1 and 2.2
