Day 79 - Passive Voice Part 3 Flashcards

1
Q

The FUTURE PASSIVE in English uses the construction will be + (past participle).
German uses (WERDEN) + (PAST PARTICIPLE ) + WERDEN.

Study the following examples:

The doughnut will be eaten.
Der Donut wird gegessen werden.

The coffee will be made.
Der Kaffee wird gemacht werden.

Modal verbs will be SENT TO THE END of the sentence.

Study the following examples:

The doughnut will be able to be eaten.
Der Donut wird gegessen werden können.
The coffee will have to be made.
Der Kaffee wird gemacht werden müssen.

The future past passive in English uses the construction will have been + (past participle).
German uses (WERDEN) + (PAST PARTICLE) + WORDEN SEIN.

Study the following examples:

The doughnut will have been eaten.
Der Donut wird gegessen worden sein.
The coffee will have been made.
Der Kaffee wird gemacht worden sein.

Modal verbs will be sent to the end of the sentence, but again, using HAVE BEEN will change the meaning of most modal verbs, so this grammar is extremely rare and can only be used in very specific cases.

The doughnut will be able to have been eaten.
Der Donut wird gegessen worden sein können.
The coffee will have to have been made.
Der Kaffee wird gemacht worden sein müssen.

If you’re having trouble remember passive word order, there is a cool trick. Put a number next to each verb. The auxiliary verb is in the same position, but all the other verbs are in the OPPOSITE ORDER at the end of the sentence.

If you want to think like a German, all you have to do is think backwards!

Study the following example:

The doughnut (1) will (2) have (3) been (4) eaten.
Der Donut (1) wird (4) gegessen (3) worden (2) sein.

The doughnut (1) will (2) be able to (3) have (4) been (5) eaten.
Der Donut (1) wird (5) gegessen (4) worden (3) sein (2) können.
