Grammar: Passive Voice

Page 90

Make a passive of this sentence
She twirls in a dress

Grammar: Passive Voice

I = always a subject

She = always a subject

He = always a subject

It = both subject and object

They = always a subject

You = both subject and object

We = always a subject

Me = always an object

Her = always an object

Him = always an object

Them = always an object

Us = always an object

Grammar: Passive Voice - Example

I twirl in a dress - a dress is twirled by me

She twirls in a dress - a dress is twirled by her

He twirls in a dress - a dress is twirled by him

It twirls in a dress - a dress is twirled by it

They twirl in a dress - a dress is twirled by them

You twirl in a dress - a dress is twirled by you

We twirl in a dress - a dress is twirled by us

Grammar: Present Continuous Passive

Step 1: Switch the subject (onderwerp) and the object (lijdend voorwerp)
Step 2: Use a form of to be + being + past participle  (ir. verbs: p. 216)
Step 3: use the preposition (voorzetsel) by to say who or what does the action, but only if this is important

My mom (subject)/ is feeding/ the cat (object)
1. The cat is feeding my mom
2. The cat is being fed my mom
3. The cat is being fed by my mom

(Verbs end with -ed)

Now you:

1. My mother is feeding the cat
2. John is fixing my car
3. Mary Poppins is singing a song
4. Batman is beating the Joker
5. Jimmy is locking the door
6. The lady is cleaning the house
7. I am playing games
