Passive Sentence Structure in German

Hello everyone! Today, we'll explore passive sentences in German. These sentences prioritize the action itself rather than the person doing it, effectively answering 'What happened?' To create the passive structure, you'll need two key elements: the auxiliary verb werden (to become/to be) and the main verb's Partizip II (past participle). For instance, an active sentence like 'Der Koch kocht das Essen' (The chef cooks the food) becomes passive: 'Das Essen wird gekocht' (The food is cooked). The focus is on the food being cooked. It's simpler than it sounds; practice will make perfect!
