Which Sentence Conveys the Same Information?

Understanding Passive Se in Spanish

In Spanish, the passive "se" is often used to convey actions being done without specifying the doer of the action. It is an important grammatical structure to understand in the language. Let's take a look at a sentence to practice identifying the correct usage of the passive "se".

Which sentence conveys the same information as the sentence given by using the passive se?

Hablamos español.
A. Se habla español.
B. Se hablas español.
C. Se hablan español.
D. Se hablamos español.

What is the correct answer?

d

Explanation:

Correct answer: Se habla español.

That is the correct answer because se hablan español, se hablas español, and se hablamos español are not correct ways to say it as they do not match the structure of the original sentence. Additionally, "Hablamos español" does not include the passive "se".

Hope this explanation helps clarify the proper usage of the passive "se" in Spanish.
