(Passive)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Today I’m going to share a few practices with you for the passive voice, which we went over in July. I hope you find these helpful. I’ll post additional exercises over the next week, for you to get used to the passive before we finish the topic up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, as a note: I\u2019ve been having trouble keeping up with things lately, and I want to apologize for the sparse pages of my blog. I\u2019ve received kind emails and comments from a number of you – and I want to thank for your that. The next few entries, I’m going to spend on exercises as a follow-up to July’s entries on passive voice. Then I want to wrap up passive voice (we still haven’t talked about modeling it using -st verbs).<\/p>\n

Here are the blogs I’m referring to:<\/p>\n

*For the record, these are not exercises of my own making: they are pulled from one of my Icelandic language books. <\/em><\/p>\n

Like so:<\/em><\/p>\n

X bor\u00f0ar allt brau\u00f0i\u00f0 = allt brau<\/strong>\u00f0i\u00f0 er bor\u00f0a\u00f0<\/strong><\/p>\n

X sag\u00f0i s\u00f6guna \u00ed g\u00e6r = Sagan var s\u00f6g\u00f0 \u00ed g\u00e6r <\/strong><\/p>\n
