Assalamu alaikum and welcome to Germany for Students channel Today is lesson number 35 of the German language course at B1 level In lesson number 35 we will continue the topic of passive In today's lesson we will see how we can make passive sentences in perfect tense in German So let's start the lesson First of all let's see which sentence structure we have to follow to form passive sentences in the perfect tense in German For that we place the subject in the first position On the second position we put the verb Zein Then we put the verb Satzglied or Satzglieder Which comes before the participle and after the conjugated form of the verb After that in the second to last position the participle form of the verb will come And in the last position of the sentence we will use the word Worden will be the last part of the sentence Now let's see them one by one On the second position the verb Zein will come And we will conjugate it according to the subject of the sentence If the subject is singular then we will use ist If the subject is plural then we will use sind After that Satzglied will come This is an optional element in the sentence It is also possible that there is no Satzglied in any sentence If not then after the conjugated form of Zein the participle form of the verb will follow And after that we will use the word to complete the sentence But if there is a clause in any sentence it will come after the conjugated form of the verb and will come before the participle form of the verb After that we will have the participle form of the verb which will be on the second last position and will come on the last position of the word sentence Now let's understand this sentence structure with the help of some examples And let' s see how we can convert active sentences into passive sentences The first example is Because this sentence is in perfect When we have to convert it into passive First of all we have to identify the object of the sentence in the active sentence The object here is So we will start the sentence with this because it is singular so the conjugation of Zein will come after that the Satzglied in this sentence is After the Satzglied we have the participle form of the verb The participle form of the verb is And will come on the last position of the word sentence So this sentence will be in passive The machine has been quickly repaired Let's see the next example The staff welcomed the guests well Now if we have to convert this perfect tense into passive So first of all we will identify the object of the sentence in the active sentence Which is Because it is plural so we will use And Freundlich which is an adjective After the conjugation of the Zein verb And will use the participle form of the verb first And will use the word on the last position of the sentence So this sentence will be The guests have been received in a good and friendly way Let's look at the next example The police have blocked the road due to an accident Now in this sentence you have to explain Which case we have used here To convert this sentence into passive We will identify the object in it So this will be We will start the sentence with Because Strasse is a singular noun So we will use the conjugated form of Zein And after that the Zarsklied will come After Zarsklied the participle form is "which means to block" So the participle form is " blocked" With this our sentence will be complete The road has been blocked due to an accident Let's look at the next example Behurde means an administration or an agency Antrag means an application or a request Andgürtiz means final or the last decision Ablenen means to rejec So Behurde has finally rejected the application Now if we want to convert this sentence into passive So we will identify the object in it The object is We will use it as a subject to make it passive So we will use the nominative definite article Which is Because it is a singular noun So we will use Andgürtiz will be used as a Zarsklied And for now the participle form is Which will be used on the second last position And the last position of the sentence will be The application has been rejected So this was today's lesson I hope you got the idea of converting perfect sentences into passive Now let's move on to the homework Researchers have published their results You have to make it passive To make it passive you have to identify the object You have to use it as a subject in the passive Then on the second position Depending on whether the subject is singular or plural then we will check if there is a Zarsklied in the sentence If there is it will come after the conjugated form And the participle will come on the second last position And the last position of the sentence will be Someone sent the letter yesterday So you have to convert this sentence into passive I hope this lesson will be easy for you If you have any questions then put them in the comme See you in the next lesson with a new topic Allah Hafiz
