- Say what happened with -아/어지다, N되다 and N을/를 당하다/받다: 보일러가 갑자기 꺼졌어요. · 수업이 취소됐어요. · 교통사고를 당했어요. · 칭찬을 받았어요.
- Describe the state things are in, as in a photo, with passive + -아/어 있다: 문이 잠겨 있어요. · 창문이 조금 열려 있어요. · 책상 위에 열쇠가 놓여 있어요.
- Tell a causative from a passive, even when they look the same: 아이에게 밥을 먹였어요 ↔ 생선이 고양이에게 먹혔어요 · 사진을 보여 줬어요 ↔ 창밖으로 산이 보여요.
