Notes for teachers
Use this test after teaching the passive in the present and passé composé, or as a review before B2. It targets frequent errors: missing participle agreement, confusing être verbs of movement with the passive, misplacing ne...pas and inversion, and passivising indirect objects (*Je suis demandé de…*). For follow-up, ask students to rewrite a short news article from active to passive and to discuss when on sounds more natural.
