In Danish linguistic analysis, what is the grammatical difference between an active and a passive sentence construction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. In active sentences the grammatical subject performs the action, while in passive sentences the subject
- Step 1: In an active voice sentence (e.g., 'Drengen sparker bolden'), the subject is the agent. In a passive voice sentence (e.g., 'Bolden sparkes af drengen'), the subject is the patient receiving the action. Answer: In active sentences the grammatical subject performs the action, while in passive sentences the subject. Why not the others: Passive voice can be formed in any grammatical tense, direct objects appear in active transitive sentences, and voice has no bearing on grammatical affirmation or negation.
