Up until this point we have been learning everything in the active voice. This would be something llike: "The dog chewed the bone". But there is also the passive voice, which would turn that sentence into "The bone was chewed by the dog." This is used quite a bit in Latin for various reasons, so we need to know how to use it!

Script by Patrizia Farina, Professor of Italian at Western Connecticut State University and Purchase College.
