Pronominal Passive with Es

Level 5

A pronominal passive uses es and a verb agreeing with the thing affected.

How It Works

Es ven una casa and es venen dues cases leave the seller unmentioned. The noun phrase is the passive subject, so formal agreement makes the verb singular or plural accordingly. This is not the same structure as an intransitive impersonal sentence such as es viu bé.

In a future procedure, the passive subject may follow a long verb group: es revisaran les dades rebudes and es podran consultar els resultats. Its number still controls the passive verb. An intervening phrase should not attract agreement away from that subject. Where an actor must be legally or practically accountable, use a clear active clause or a ser passive with an agent rather than letting es obscure responsibility.
