Passive voice Exercises For Catalan Grammar

Interactive online grammar tasks to boost language skills

The passive voice in Catalan grammar is a construction in which the subject of a sentence becomes the receiver of the action of the verb. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “ser” (to be), followed by the past participle of the main verb. The past participle must agree in gender and number with the subject. The agent of the action, if mentioned, is introduced by the preposition “per” or “de” (by). Passive voice constructions in Catalan are typically used in more formal writing and can add variety to a text.
