Penitentiaire inrichting

Een gevangenis wordt ook wel een penitentiaire inrichting genoemd. Als je bent veroordeeld en je moet zitten, dan word je op de dag van je aankomst gecontroleerd. Dit betekent dat je uit de kleren moet. Je kleding wordt goed onderzocht op bezittingen. Ook wordt je urine gecontroleerd. In Nederland gebeurt dit op een humane wijze. Daarna krijg je een intakegesprek en word je door een medewerker naar je cel gebracht. De mannen en vrouwen zitten gescheiden. Je wordt dus naar een afdeling gebracht die uitsluitend voor mannen of voor vrouwen is.

SUSPECT INTERROGATION

 

1. I once ate 15 eggs in 5 minutes.

2. I sometimes help my dad counting bats.

3. My brother caught a thief by using a candid camera.

 

1. My parents met each other while writing letters when my father was a soldier.

2. I volunteered in Africa in the slumps for 3 months. 

3. I found a fly in my pork tenderloin but the waiter didn't believe it was already in it.

 

1. My best friend was kidnapped for a couple of hours when she was 8 years old. 

2. I neglected my hamster and after a while it was not able to walk anymore.

3. When I was in grade 7 I had to take typing lessons, but I was so sick and tired of it that I threw my typing machine out of the window once.

 

Well, a lot of weird stories. 1 out of every 3 is true. You should interrogate me in order to find out which one is true. Of course I will not confess so you have to ask difficult questions or pay attention to my body language as well. 

Good luck, I'm a good liar.

Grammar

Passive voice

The form

The Passive Voice is formed by: Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle.
Example: A letter was written.

When rewriting active sentences in the passive voice, note the following:

  • The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
  • The finite form of the verb is changed (a finite form of to be + Past Participle).
  • The subject of the active sentence is preceeded by the preposition 'by' (or is dropped).

 

Note the differences between Dutch and English:

Dutch   English  
o.t.t. Het boek wordt gelezen present simple The book is read
o.v.t. Het boek werd gelezen past simple The book was read
v.t.t. Het boek is gelezen present perfect The book has been read
v.v.t. Het boek was gelezen past perfect

The book had been read

 

The use

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action.
It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.

Example: My bike was stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen.
I do not know, however, who did it.

Sometimes a statement in the passive voice is more polite than the active voice,
as the following example shows:

Example: A mistake was made.
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone
(e.g. You have made a mistake.).
