Passive Voice Exercises For Afrikaans Grammar

Grammar exercises enhancing language comprehension skillsĀ 

The Passive Voice in Afrikaans grammar is used to shift the focus of a sentence from the direct subject or object to the action that is being performed. It is often used to express actions that are done to the subject rather than actions the subject does. In Afrikaans, the Passive Voice is formed by placing the main verb in the passive form, which is created by adding the past participle ending -ge to the verb stem. It is then usually followed by the auxiliary verb “word” or “is,” which indicates the passive form. By practicing the Passive Voice with the following exercises, you will become more familiar with this important aspect of Afrikaans grammar.
