lesson 2

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

What does "passive" mean?

Slide 2 - Open vraag

The cat bites the man.

The man is bitten (by the cat)

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

We often use the passive

when we prefer not to mention who or what does the action (for example, it's not known, it's obvious or we don't want to say) so that we can start a sentence with the most important or most logical information
in more formal or scientific writing.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

How we make the passive
We make the passive using the verb be + past participle. We start the sentence with the object.

Avatar was directed by James Cameron.
↓ ↓ ↓
Object + be + past participle

It is not always necessary to add who or what did the action.

My flight is cancelled.
↓ ↓ ↓
Object + be + past participle

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Tense Example Structure

Present simple 
Alioli is made from oil, garlic and salt. --> is/are + past participle

Past simple
John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. --> was/were + past participle

Future simple 
The work will be finished next week. --> will be + past participle  

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

We use the passive voice to change the focus of the sentence.

My bike was stolen. (passive – focus on my bike)
Someone stole my bike. (active – focus on someone)

Only the form of be changes to make the tense. The past participle stays the same. Here are examples of the passive in its most common tenses.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

What is the subject in this sentence?
The lion bit the man.
(Onderwerp)
The lion bit the man.

Slide 8 - Open vraag

What is the object in this sentence?
(Leidend voorwerp)

Slide 9 - Open vraag

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

How to recognize a passive sentence...
- check if there is a form of 'to be' used (am, are, is, was, were, been)
- is it followed by a participle (voltooid deelwoord)?
- is it followed by 'by + noun or pronoun? If not, can it be followed by 'by zombies'?
Are all answers 'yes'? Congratulations, you have a passive sentence.
