Passives in Full: 被, 叫, 让, 给

Write a series of chat messages (150–300 characters) to a friend about a terrible day: your umbrella broke, your bike was stolen, your boss told you off, and so on. Use 被 and the spoken passives 叫, 让 and 给 for the things that happened to you.

  • 被 with the doer and without it
  • 叫 or 让 + doer + verb, the spoken passive
  • 给 or 让…给 / 被…给 for colloquial emphasis
  • A complement or 了 after every passive verb

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
