Let\u00b4s practice first some Spanish passive sentences with the verb Ser. Can you understand the following sentences?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Este libro fue escrito por un escritor espa\u00f1ol.<br \/>\nEsta pel\u00edcula ha sido vista por mucha gente.<br \/>\nEl incendio fue apagado por los bomberos.<br \/>\nLas noticias son publicadas por la prensa.<br \/>\nEl tenor fue aplaudido por el p\u00fablico.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, I will say a few sentences in the Spanish passive voice. I will repeat each twice: once using the verb Ser and then using the verb Estar. You should repeat the correct one. For example, if I say \u201cLa cena es preparada\u201d and \u201cLa cena est\u00e1 preparada\u201d. The correct one is the second choice, as the sentence refers to the final result and not to the process and it doesn\u2019t matter who prepared the dinner. We would say \u201cLa cena es preparada por Juan todos los d\u00edas\u201d if we were specifically talking about the process of the dinner being prepared and who has done it:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La cena es hecha \/ La cena est\u00e1 hecha.<br \/>\nEl museo es visitado por mucha gente \/ El museo est\u00e1 visitado por mucha gente.<br \/>\nEl libro es escrito en espa\u00f1ol\/ El libro est\u00e1 escrito en espa\u00f1ol.<br \/>\nEl plato es roto \/ El plato est\u00e1 roto.<br \/>\nEl perro es alimentado por Ana \/ El perro est\u00e1 alimentado por Ana.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now, can you translate the following sentences from English to Spanish using a passive voice with the verbs Ser or Estar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Antonio was arrested.<br \/>\nThis shop is closed.<br \/>\nThe car was bought by him.<br \/>\nMany illnesses are treated here.<br \/>\nWe are not ready.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, please make a Spanish passive sentence with Se that you could see on a sign or advert in the following situations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Renting a house.<br \/>\nLooking for teachers.<br \/>\nSelling a car.<br \/>\nMaking dresses.<\/p>\n<p>Bueno, pues esto es todo por hoy. <\/p>\n<p>Passive sentences in Spanish take a bit of time to get used to, so make sure you understand what they are and how to make them. I recommend you read newspapers in Spanish and try to find these types of sentences, as news reports and adverts tend to use them quite a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Nos vemos pronto. \u00a1Adi\u00f3s!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
