نکات و ترفندها (4)

💡

Check the tense

Only use S-passive for present tense. For past, use 'bli'.

💡

Keep it simple

Don't add 'av' (by) unless you really have to.

💡

Check the subject

If the subject is an object (like a book), it's likely passive.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Passive in Past
💡

Check for 'by'

If you can add 'by someone' in English, it's likely a passive construction in Swedish.

Review Summary

  • Verb + s

اشتباهات رایج

You must conjugate the verb in the present tense before adding -s.

Wrong: Boken läsas.
صحیح: Boken läses.

The -s passive already carries the passive meaning; do not add 'var' (was).

Wrong: Huset var byggdes.
صحیح: Huset byggdes.

Passive voice replaces the actor, so 'man' (one/they) is redundant.

Wrong: Man byggdes huset.
صحیح: Huset byggdes.
