HOW do we make passive voice?
  • Active voice: John woke up Jane.
  • - 1. See who did it (person) -> John
  • - 2. What did they do (verb) and in what TENSE -> woke up (past simple)
  • - 3. What is the object they did it to (a thing, another person…) -> Jane
  • HOW TO FORM THE PASSIVE VOICE:
  • - 1. Put the object in the beginning and forget about the person -> Jane
  • - 2. Add the verb ‘BE’ in the same tense! -> was (past simple)
  • - 3. Put the verb from the sentence to 3th row (3e rijtje) -> woken up
  • Passive voice: JANE WAS WOKEN UP (by John)
