Review Summary
- [Past Participle of Main Verb] + [Conjugated form of 'Jana']
よくある間違い
In passive voice, the object (work) becomes the subject. Adding 'Main' (I) makes it sound like 'I was done' as an object, which is incorrect.
Both the past participle and 'Jana' must agree with the gender of the noun. Since 'Chithi' is feminine, both must be feminine.
Without the 'gayi' (form of Jana), this is just a standard perfect tense active sentence. You need 'Jana' to make it passive.
