About this document
Examples of Passivization in English by AndreeaMara is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Passive sentences involve an auxiliary verb and the main verb in the past participle form. Passivization occurs when the direct object of a transitive verb moves to the subject position after the verb loses its ability to assign accusative case. There are also adjectival passives which refer to completed actions and differ from verbal passives in terms of the copular verbs and modifiers they accept.
