💡

Look for the S

If you see a verb ending in -s on a sign, it's almost certainly a rule or instruction.

Review Summary

  • Verb + s
  • Bli've (aux) + participle

자주 하는 실수

The passive requires the past participle (bygget), not the base form.

Wrong: Huset bliver bygger.
정답: Huset bliver bygget.

The s-passive replaces the subject 'Man'. You don't need both.

Wrong: Man bruges denne knap.
정답: Denne knap bruges.

The s-passive is added to the verb, not the pronoun.

Wrong: Det s-gøres nu.
정답: Det gøres nu.
