자주 하는 실수

Passive voice in Latvian with 'tikt' focuses on the action, not the agent. Do not use 'ar' to imply 'by'.

Wrong: Tilts ir celts ar strādniekiem.
정답: Tilts tiek celts.

The participle should not take an ending that mimics a dative case; it must simply match the noun's gender.

Wrong: Māja tiek celtai.
정답: Māja tiek celta.

You cannot keep the subject as the doer ('Viņš') in a passive sentence. The object becomes the subject.

Wrong: Viņš tiek uzcēla māju.
정답: Māja tiek uzcelta.
