Chinese Lesson Blurb: Tips and Tricks for Using Passive Voice

from Fun Learning Chinese Hosted by Laura Blodgett, Vesta Huang

In my recent posts about animals, I have ended up using passive voice quite a bit, because things like goats don't milk themselves and a horse doesn't decide to startle itself.
