Passive Voice

Passive voice

Waarom Passive? 

1) Als de persoon of het ding dat de actie uitvoert onbekend of onbelangrijk is, kan passieve stem worden gebruikt om de nadruk te leggen op wat er is gedaan in plaats van wie het heeft gedaan.

Formele schrijfstijl: In formele contexten wordt passieve stem vaak gebruikt omdat het formeler klinkt dan actieve stem. Het wordt vaak gezien in wetenschappelijke, academische of technische teksten.
