This is the beauty of passive voice. This helps us to note who is doing something that is being done. In this blog we will run in a simple and clear way from this topic. You will see rules, structures and real examples. Step by step, passive voice will be simple, and towards the end of this blog you will know how to use it naturally in your own sentences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/german-language-course\/?utm_source=german-language&amp;utm_medium=blog_referral&amp;utm_campaign=daad-approved-universities-courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Master the German Language with Entri App!

First, it may look confusing, but once you understand this idea, it becomes very easy to use. Passive voice is not just about grammar rules. It is also about how we choose to tell a story, how we highlight some details and how we transfer attention to a sentence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"203\" data-end=\"588\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Spoken-German-1_compressed.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Spoken-German-1_compressed.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><button class=\"btn btn-default\">GERMAN LANGUAGE COURSE FEATURES<\/button><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/a><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"618\"><strong>What is Passive Voice?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"876\">Passive voice is a way of building sentences where action focuses on themselves, rather than the person or subject doing the action. Instead of asking, &#8220;Who does it?&#8221;, the passive voice like: &#8220;What is being done?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"911\">For example, in English we say:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"912\" data-end=\"1033\">\n<li data-start=\"912\" data-end=\"968\">\n<p data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"968\"><strong data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"931\">Active voice:<\/strong> \u201cThe teacher explains the lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"969\" data-end=\"1033\">\n<p data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"1033\"><strong data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"989\">Passive voice:<\/strong> \u201cThe lesson is explained by the teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1198\">In the passive version, our eyes immediately go to the text instead of the teacher. This small shift can change our way of reading and understanding information.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1240\"><strong>Why and When is it Used in German?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1329\">In German, the passive voice plays a very similar role. It is especially useful when:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1484\">\n<li data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1379\">\n<p data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1379\">The person doing the action is not important.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1423\">\n<p data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1423\">The person doing the action is unknown.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1484\">\n<p data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1484\">The focus should be on the result, not on who caused it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1486\" data-end=\"1500\"><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"1563\">\n<li data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"1563\">\n<p data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1563\"><strong data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1529\">Das Buch wird gelesen <\/strong>(The book is being read).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here we don&#8217;t know who reads the book, and that does not matter. What matters is that the reading action is done. It makes the passive voice very common in newspapers, academic texts, reports and situations where the writer wants to make objective or formal. It is also used in daily life interactions when we want to emphasize action instead of the subject.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" width=\"616\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>German A2 Exercises &#8211; Download Free PDF<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-1.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-1.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Possessive articles<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-2.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-2.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Reflexive verbs<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-3.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-3.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Verbs with Prepositions<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-4.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-4.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">W-questions with preposition<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-5.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-5.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Modal Verbs<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-6.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-6.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Konjunktiv II<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-7.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-7.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Verglieche<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-8.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-8.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Nebens\u00e4tze<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-9.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-9.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Deshalb oder trotzdem<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-10.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-10.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Indirekt Frages\u00e4tze<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-11.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-11.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Relativs\u00e4tze<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-12.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-12.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Adjektive<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"1985\"><strong>Comparing with English Passive Voice<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2219\">If you already know how to works passive in English. The German passive is designed in a similar way, but there are some significant differences. Both languages \u200b\u200buse a form of the verb \u201cto be\u201d plus a past participle.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2300\">\n<li data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2259\">\n<p data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2259\"><strong data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2235\">English:<\/strong> \u201cThe door is opened.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2260\" data-end=\"2300\">\n<p data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2300\"><strong data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2273\">German:<\/strong> \u201cDie Tur wird geoffnet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2302\" data-end=\"2537\">The main difference is auxiliary verb. In English, we use &#8220;to be&#8221; (is, was, were), while in German uses &#8220;werden&#8221; as the most passive forms.

It is widely used in everyday languages, formal writing and conditions where the subject is either unknown or insignificant.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"811\">The best way to grasp the passive voice is to practice. Try to rewrite active sentences into passive, use them in short writing practices, and should notice how many times they appear in newspapers or books. With the regular practice, the passive voice will no longer feel unfamiliar &#8211; it feels natural and a powerful part in your German verbal communication.<\/p>\n<table
