French<\/strong>. This is a grammatical term referring to the relationship between the action expressed by a verb and its subject\/object. The three voices are as follow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The active voice, e.g. <em>Je mange une orange<\/em> (\u201cI\u2019m eating an orange\u201d)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The pronominal voice, e.g. <em>Je me lave<\/em> (\u201cI wash myself\u201d)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The passive voice, e.g. <em>La souris est mang\u00e9e par le chat<\/em> (\u201cThe mouse is eaten by the cat\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see from these examples, the active voice is used when the subject of the verb is carrying out the action, whereas<strong> the passive voice is used when the action of the verb happens to the subject<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38254\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775.jpg\" alt=\"apple-books-desk-pencils\" width=\"700\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775-200x70.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775-400x140.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775-600x210.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775-768x269.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775-800x280.jpg 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775-1024x358.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/learning-passive-french-e1634720505775.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why we use the passive voice<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The active voice is the most natural choice<\/strong> for expressing oneself in French. There are, however, two main reasons <strong>why we might opt for the passive voice in French<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">To emphasize the person or thing who is carrying out the action<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">To concentrate on the action without identifying the agent<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at some examples of the passive voice in action:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>La maison a \u00e9t\u00e9 construite pour nous<\/em> (\u201cThe house was built for us\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Ma voiture a \u00e9t\u00e9 vol\u00e9e hier<\/em> (\u201cMy car was stolen yesterday\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In both instances,<strong> the agent of the verb is the focus<\/strong> and not the subject, which remains anonymous.<\/p>\n<h2>How to construct the French passive voice<\/h2>\n<p>Now we understand what the passive voice in French is,<strong> let\u2019s talk about how to form it<\/strong>. Here are the key steps to follow:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Decide <strong>who or what will be the agent<\/strong> of your verb, e.g. <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">la bi\u00e8re<\/span><\/em> (\u201cthe beer\u201d)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Conjugate the verb<\/strong> in the passive voice using \u00eatre and the past participle, e.g.<em> la bi\u00e8re <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a \u00e9t\u00e9 bue<\/span><\/em> (\u201cthe beer was drunk\u201d)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">To make a more complete sentence, <strong>add a subject and preposition<\/strong>, e.g.<em> la bi\u00e8re a \u00e9t\u00e9 bue <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">par la femme<\/span><\/em> (\u201cthe beer was drunk by the woman\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One of the grammatical sticking points in the construction of the passive voice in French is the past participle. Remember that<strong> the past participle must agree with the agent of the verb<\/strong>. In the above example, <em>la bi\u00e8re<\/em> is feminine, so the past participle, <em>bu<\/em>, has an additional <em>e<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to avoid the passive<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve just explained how the passive voice in French works and how to use it, but now we\u2019re going to tell you: <strong>avoid using it<\/strong>! The passive voice<strong> isn\u2019t used a great deal in everyday French<\/strong> and there are other ways of achieving the same goals.<\/p>\n<p>When your sentence has an <strong>anonymous subject<\/strong>, you can use the pronoun se before the verb to <strong>create a passive reflexive<\/strong>. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Le crumble <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">se<\/span> mange chaud<\/em> (\u201cCrumble is eaten hot\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This kind of construction avoids the clunkier <em>le crumble <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">est mang\u00e9<\/span> chaud<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Another good way to express a sentence with an anonymous subject is with <strong><em>on<\/em> as the subject<\/strong>. Variously translated as \u201cone\u201d or \u201cwe\u201d, <strong><em>on<\/em> refers to a non-specific subject<\/strong>. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>On ne boit pas de th\u00e9 au lait ici<\/em> (\u201cWe don\u2019t drink tea with milk here\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How GlobalExam can help you with French grammar<\/h2>\n<p>We hope this article has ironed out any creases in your knowledge of the passive voice in French.
