De passieve vorm in alle tijden

The passive across every tense

B2 · Gevorderd Werkwoorden en tijd Vragen 10

De regel

De passieve vorm bestaat zodat de zin kan beginnen met wat ertoe doet. The roof was repaired last week zet het dak vooraan omdat de aannemer niet het nieuws is. Elke tijd heeft een passief, en modale werkwoorden krijgen be plus deelwoord. Gebruik by alleen als de handelende persoon echt informatie toevoegt, en with voor het middel.

Patroon

be (in any tense) + past participle · modal + be + past participle · modal + have been + past participle
