There are a few ways to make the passive voice in Mandarin. We are going to focus on the most common way, by using 被.
I thought I would try something new in this post. Instead of writing my little lesson for 被 here, I decided to make a PDF explaining it. I made a simplified and traditional version, so choose whichever you like.
After clicking on the link click on the "Download" button on the top-right of the window. You cannot use Chinese Readers on the preview, you actually have to download the PDF.
Traditional Chinese
Simplified Chinese
I did not include any pronunciations because I expect all of you to be using some sort of dictionary or Chinese Reader. If you are not currently using one, get one HERE!
※ A little side note, the conjugated forms of the verb "to be" in the PDF should actually be considered part of the verb, but I chose to make them blue to help beginners get the concept of creating and understanding the passive voice.
