S4.E3 - The Passive

This episode introduces a complex element of Amharic grammar: The Passive Form. An active sentence in English might be “She painted the house”. A similar sentence in its passive form might be “the house was painted”. In this episode we look at how to construct passive sentences starting with verbs in the simple past perfect. I’d recommend pulling up the transcript to follow along with this episode.
