Today we’ll continue on from where we left off last episode with a look at more complex aspects of the Passive form, including how to conjugate passive verbs in the Simple Past to other tenses, including the Present/Future, the Contingent, the Gerund, the Imperative, and more. If you are at the early stages of Amharic learning, we recommend going back to previous episodes where each tense is explained more in depth before continuing with this episode on how to conjugate the Passive form. It may also be helpful to pull up the transcript to follow along with conjugations for this episode and better identify subtle differences in the Fidel and pronunciation of the active and passive forms.
