The passive
You should have seen the explainer video. This quiz is to put into practice what we have just learned about.
3
The passive
There are different forms of the passive, and we can use different tenses in using the passive, but here we are just going to focus on the standard 'werden' passive.
4
The passive
Der Geburtstag wurde gefeiert (the birthday was celebrated)
64,2 Millionen Euro wurden gespendet (€64.2M were donated)
To form the passive you need wurde (was) or wurden (were) and the past participle.
The past participle is the form of the verb that often starts with 'ge'.
5
The passive
Look how a passive sentence changes compared to an active sentence.
Der Geburtstag wurde gefeiert (passive)
Ich habe meinen Geburtstag gefeiert (active)
In an active sentence we have a subject. In a passive the subject is usually omitted, and we focus on the action instead.
