Why Use Passive Voice?

To emphasize the action or result rather than the doer.

• The bridge was completed in 2020.
  
  To downplay or omit the agent.(uitvoerder)
• The vase was broken.
  
  To sound more formal or objective.
• The experiment was conducted under controlled conditions.

Passive = lijdende vorm

•  Van actieve zin naar passieve zin:
  Het lijdend voorwerp van de actieve zin wordt het onderwerp van de passieve zin.
• Lijdend voorwerp: wie of wat + gezegde + onderwerp
  VB: A Texan company makes these NASA t-shirts
  
  
• What does this Texan company make?
  Lijdend voorwerp is: these NASA t-shirts
• Passive: These NASA t-shirts are made (by....)
  

Passive Voice Formula:

Present Simple Passive:

Subject + am/ are /is + past participle (+ optional agent introduced by "by").

Past Simple Passive:

Subject + was / were + past participle (+ optional agent introduced by "by").

Examples:

Active: The chef cooks the meal.

Passive: The meal is cooked (by the chef).

Active: She wrote a book.

Passive: A book was written (by her).

Active: They will complete the project next week.

Passive: The project will be completed next week.
