Grammar: Passive Voice Simplified

Step 1: Switch the subject (onderwerp) and the object (lijdend voorwerp)
Step 2: Use a form of to be + past participle   (ir. verbs: p. 216)
Step 3: use the preposition (voorzetsel) by to say who or what does the action, but only if this is important

My mom (subject)/ feeds/ the cat (object)
1. The cat feeds my mom
2. The cat is fed my mom
3. The cat is fed by my mom

(Verbs end with -ed)

Now you:

1. My mother feeds the cat
2. John fixed my car
3. Mary Poppins is singing a song
4. Batman beats the Joker
5. Jimmy locked the door
6. The lady is cleaning the house
7. I play games

Depending on the time turn these sentences into present simple passive, present continuous passive, or past simple passive. Use the steps as explained

LET OP! Kijk goed naar de werkwoordstijden! In de passive vorm blijft die hetzelfde. Een present continuous wordt een present continuous passive, etc...
