Preguntas de ejemplo

1. 1. How is the passive voice formed?

   • be + past participle
   • do + infinitive
   • have + past participle
   • will + base verb
   Ver la respuesta

   ✅ be + past participle

   Passive = subject + be (in the right tense) + past participle. "The book is written." "The cake was eaten." Be changes tense; the participle stays the same.

2. 2. Complete: "These cars ___ in Germany."

   • are made
   • is made
   • is making
   • was made
   Ver la respuesta

   ✅ are made

   "These cars" is plural, so "be" goes plural too: are made. In the passive the verb agrees with the thing receiving the action, because that is now the subject of the sentence.

3. 3. Passive of "They gave Anna a prize", with Anna as the subject.

   • A prize was given Anna.
   • Anna gave a prize.
   • Anna is giving a prize.
   • Anna was given a prize.
   Ver la respuesta

   ✅ Anna was given a prize.

   Verbs with two objects (give, send, offer, tell) have two passives, and English prefers the person: "Anna was given a prize".
