14 We use ser + past participle to speak in the “passive voice” Instead of saying “Picasso painted Guernica in 1937,” you can say “Guernica was painted in 1937 by Picasso.” In the first example, Picasso is the subject. In the second example, Guernica is the subject. In English, we use the passive voice when we say “was...” (Example: was painted) Ejemplos: Los murales fueron pintados por Diego Rivera. Ser is plural because the subject (murals) is plural. Pintados matches in gender and number as well.
