Understanding the Passive Voice in German 🇩🇪 📚 What is the Passive Voice? The Passive Voice (Passiv) is used when the focus is on the action rather than the person performing it. In other words, who does the action isn't as important as what happens! 📌 How to form the Passive in Präsens and Präteritum: Präsens (Present Tense): „Der Mann wird von dem Hund gebissen.“ (The man is bitten by the dog.) Präteritum (Past Tense): „Der Mann wurde von dem Hund gebissen.“ (The man was bitten by the dog.) 👉 When to use Passive: When the doer is unknown: „Das Auto wurde gestohlen.“ (The car was stolen.) When the action itself is more important: „Der Vertrag wird morgen unterschrieben.“ (The contract will be signed tomorrow.) 💡 Pro Tip: Use passive when you want to sound more formal or neutral. It’s commonly used in news reports, instructions, and formal communication! ✍️ Try writing your own passive sentences in the comments! Let’s practice together!

"It" as a Formal Subject

What is a formal subject?

    A formal subject, often represented by the pronoun it, plays an essential role in English grammar, particularly in structuring sentences and providing clarity. We use a formal subject “it” when:     Describing Natural Phenomena: Example: It is raining.   It is used as a placeholder when describing natural phenomena, especially with verbs like to rain, to snow, to freeze, etc. The verb is typically intransitive, and it serves as a subject in such sentences.       Referring to Weather Conditions:   Example: It is sunny today.   It is often used when describing weather conditions, such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, etc. The subject it introduces the description of the weather condition, and then the predicate provides details about the condition.         Referring to Time and Distance: Example: It is 3 o'clock. / It is five miles to the city.   It can be used when expressing time, such as It is .  It is also used when indicating distance, as in It is miles to .         Passive Voice with Verbs like It is said, It is believed, It is expected, etc.:   Example: It is said that he will arrive soon.   It is used as a subject in passive constructions when reporting what is said, believed, expected, or known. The actual subject (he in the example) comes later in the sentence.         Subject Expressed by Gerund, Infinitive, or Subordinate Clause:   Example: It is essential to study. / It is important that you arrive on time.   It can be used when the subject is expressed by a gerund, an infinitive, or a subordinate clause, and it appears after the predicate. This is often seen in sentences where the focus is on the importance or necessity of the action.               “It” as a Formal Subject Subject of a Sentence.

ethereal. (iˈθɪəriəl) adj. 

1. the regions beyond our earth, esp. the map of stars masked by New York’s unrelenting streetlights. only venus and orion are strong enough to poke holes in the shroud of civilization, reminding us that we are just a pale blue dot in the fabric of the universe.

2. lacking material substance: intangible, sometimes regarded as a kind of dream. a soul radiating gold like the sun, warmth caressing the rugged earth. you spread your light to those around you, breathe spring into my winter lungs. you are a healing salve on sore muscles, a tree’s shade in the middle of summer. with one kiss, my faith in humanity is restored. but when my eyes open, you have disappeared into the night. you are nothing but ghostly fingers on my back, random coldness on my lips, shreds of silver nostalgia whispering into my ear.

Active and Passive Voice

Active and Passive Voice - The Forms of Sentences

Active Voice and Passive Voice are the forms of sentences. We can write these for the same meaning.

Voice is a form of verb showing whether the subject acts or has acted to it. That is, sentences are in either active or passive voice.

Here, we shall see the forms of sentences in the manner of-

characteristics

pattern

example with explanation

Active Voice

In an active form, the subject acts.

Definition

We can define this as;

An active voice is a sentence in which a verb shows that subject does an action.

Characteristics of active voice

We shall see the characteristics of this form.

In an active voice-

The subject of a sentence in an active form is at the starting of the sentence.

The subject is followed by the form of ‘to be’, verb, and object.

We can say that a verb is in the Active Voice.

An active voice tells clearly about the actor who has done it.

Pattern of sentence

The pattern of a sentence in this voice is-

Subject+ Verb+ Object

Example with explanation

Here is an example with explanation -

My son has built a website.

In the above sentence, we have a subject (my son), a verb (has built), and the object of the verb (website).

Passive voice

In passive voice, the action is done by someone.

Definition

We define this form as;

Passive voice is the sentence in which the form of a verb shows that an action is done to the subject.

Characteristics of passive voice

The Characteristics of this form are-

When we change the sentence from active to passive voice, the object becomes the subject.

We can use sentences with only transitive verbs in the passive voice. That is, we can change the sentences having objects into this voice.

This form may or may not tell clearly about the actor who has done it.

We should add 'by' in a sentence to make clear the action, who has done it.

Pattern of sentence

The pattern of a sentence in this voice is as -

Subject+ form of ‘to be + past participle of verb+ by + object

Example with explanation

The website has been built.

Or

The website has been built by my son.

In the above sentence, we have-

the direct object of the verb (a website)

the verb is in passive form (has been built)

The subject is missing, but we can add ‘by’ and make the subject clear.

We can have a passive and active form of eight tenses with examples of three persons to understand easily.

passive voice

I use a trick to teach students how to avoid passive voice. Circle the verbs. Imagine inserting “by zombies” after each one. Have the words been claimed by the flesh-hungry undead? If so, passive voice. I wonder if these sixth graders will recollect, on summer vacation, as they stretch their legs on the way home from Yellowstone or Yosemite and the byway’s historical marker beckons them to the site of an Indian village— Where trouble was brewing. Where, after further hostilities, the army was directed to enter. Where the village was razed after the skirmish occurred. Where most were women and children. Riveted bramble of passive verbs etched in wood— stripped hands breaking up from the dry ground to pinch the meat of their young red tongues.

LEARNING THE PASSIVE VOICE

Here's how I got my students to understand and use the passive voice in English correctly. 🎉🎊👍

First, they talked to a partner, exchanging ideas about what the passive voice is, when it is used and how it is formed.

Then, they received this worksheet, which they used to take notes while watching the video guide: https://youtu.be/5ROLwV66ypY

After they'd finished, they talked with their partner again, telling each other what they found out. I helped them with any necessary clarifications.

Finally, they played this Kahoot! game to practise: https://create.kahoot.it/…/b5ee777b-337c-423b-ab87-ac7089af…

Maybe this helps you, too.

Grammar Police!

I know, I know. I hate the Grammar Police. The people who “walk” up behind you online and correct every little mistake. Sometimes we have bad days. I often get annoyed seeing their, when someone is referring to a place there (adverb) or they’re when someone means their. For instance: Their going to the club wouldn’t be grammatical because their is possessive. Instead, you would write: They’re…
