The different ways to express passive voice (“was . . . by . . .”)
The Chinese do not use passive voice anywhere near as frequently as we do in English.
Below are some occasions when you will, however, hear the passive voice.
With bèi 被:
That child was scolded by his father.
Nàge háizi bèi tā bàba mà le yídùn.
那个孩子被他爸爸骂了一顿。
Ràng 让,like bèi 被, is generally used with inanimate objects as the subject:
The candy was eaten by the child.
Táng ràng háizi (gěi) chī le.
糖让孩子 (给) 吃了。
NOTE: The passive voice is used much less frequently in Chinese than in English!
