B2 OriginalWorksheet
PDFTests Originals
This B2 worksheet practises the two main ways of expressing the passive in Spanish: ser + past participle (with agreement and an optional agent introduced by por) and the pasiva refleja with se. Learners work through different tenses, negatives and questions, from controlled gap-fills to error correction and sentence building. It suits upper-intermediate learners preparing for exams or reviewing formal written Spanish.

B2 Spanish worksheet on the passive voice (ser + participle) and passive se: form, agreement, tenses, negatives and questions. Printable, with answers.
Start by contrasting the two structures on the board: ser passive (often with an agent, more formal) versus passive se (no agent, very common in speech, signs and adverts). Typical mistakes are forgetting participle agreement (las ventanas fueron rotos), using a singular verb with plural nouns after se (se vende pisos) and using de instead of por for the agent. As a follow-up, ask learners to write five signs or adverts using passive se (Se alquila..., Se necesitan...) and a short news report using the ser passive.
