Fyll i rätt passiv verbform i meningen.
- Swedish uses passive voice frequently in signs, notices, and announcements.
- The most common passive is the s-passive: verb stem + s (e.g. hämtas, stängs, betalas).
- Another option is the bli-passive: bli + past participle (e.g. blir hämtad).
- In announcements, passive often replaces "man" constructions (man hämtar → hämtas).
- Pay attention to tense and register — short notices usually use present tense.
