The Intransitive Trap!

Not ALL verbs can be Passive!

(កិរិយាសព្ទអកម្ម (Intransitive verbs) ដូចជា happen, arrive, sleep, die មិនមានកម្មវត្ថុ (Object) ទេ ដូច្នេះអ្នកមិនអាចប្តូរវាទៅជា Passive បានឡើយ!)

The accident was happened. ❌
"Happen" cannot be passive!

The accident happened. ✅
Just use the active voice.

I always forget whether to use "is" or "are" in passive voice. For example: "The books is sold" or "The books are sold"?

Hi Piseth! In Passive Voice, the verb "to be" must match the NEW subject. Since "books" is plural, you must use "are". So: "The books ARE sold." (សៀវភៅត្រូវបានគេលក់) 📚

Do we always have to use "by" at the end of a passive sentence?

Sopheak Pich Teacher 4 hours ago

No, you don't! In fact, we often drop the "by..." phrase when we don't know who did the action, or if it isn't important. (e.g., "My wallet was stolen" sounds better than "My wallet was stolen by someone"). We only use "by" when the person doing it is very important information. 🕵️‍♂️

What about "Future Continuous" passive? Like "will be being built"?

Good question, Theary! Grammatically, "will be being built" exists, but native speakers ALMOST NEVER use it because it sounds extremely clumsy. We usually just use Future Simple Passive instead ("will be built"). 🚧
