Active to passive tennis:
Come up with an English active sentence to give to your partner (must have a subject/object/verb).
Your partner must make the sentence passive. If he succeeds, gets a point. If he does not, you get the point.
Switch roles and continue switching until I say stop. Record your marks.
Extension: Use as many tenses for your verbs as possible.

5. Now let’s look at the Latin:
For the present, imperfect and future tenses, it is very easy to form the passive. All you need to do is add: -r
-ris
-tur
-mur
-mini
-ntur
The person of the verb is still the subject, but now receiving the action.

6. So, the present tense becomes:
amor - I am (being) loved
amaris - you are (being) loved
amatur - he/she/it is (being) loved
amamur - we are (being) loved
amamini - you are (being) loved
amantur they are (being) loved
Let’s try some…

7. monentur

8. consumimini

9. narratur

10. ab regibus laudaris
