A passive - why?

We choose the passive voice if

• we do not know who the subject is
  
• we do not care who the subject is
  

Passive

NL: Lijdende vorm

EN: when you focus on the action and not on the subject [=ondw.]

A passive - how?

We play with the word order

Active

     I          ate          pizza      yesterday

(ondw.)   (ww.)         (lv)          (time)

Passive

The pizza       was eaten      yesterday    (by me)

(lv)                       (ww)             (time)

Passive

NL: Lijdende vorm

EN: when you focus on the action and not on the subject [=ondw.]

A passive:

the steps

1. The object (lv of mw) of the active sentence --> object of the passive
   
2. Add a form of 'to be' to the verb
3. Change the original verb into its past participle; if there is a helping verb, then that one stays
