Welcome y'all!

How was your holiday? 

Are you all ready for the last stretch?!

Can you guess in which country this picture was taken?

India, Daramsala, McLeodganj.

This week's itinerary:

Instruction: passive voice/pre- and suffixes, recap on grammar (if there's time)

Workshops: work on and help with readingportfolio and StSt exercises. 

This week's goal:

To understand and be able to use the passive voice. 

Practise your readingskills.

The Passive Voice:

• The focus is on the action. Not on who does the action.
• The object (lv) becomes the subject (o).

A: I love my kids.

P: My kids are loved (by me).

the food was being served.

How to make The Passive Voice:

 First, turn object into the subject. -> My father...

Then, what tense is the active sentence in? -> Helped = past simple.

Thirdly, add the correct form of to be + past participle (v.d./3e rijtje).

The nurse helped my father.

> My father...

> past simple form to be: was... 

> past participle of to help: helped... 

My father was helped (by the nurse)

Let's practise:

My dog eats dogfood.  ->  Dogfood...

The police caught the burglar.  ->

Nikki is playing tennis. ->

Change these two active sentences into passive ones.

The thief stole an empty purse.
My wife and me visited India.

Change these two active sentences into passive ones.

We are playing in the pool.
The dog is digging a hole.
