Tank you for this lesson about the passive voice and transitive and intransitive verbs. I´m from Ecuador and I could understand this lesson
0:39 – it’s very interesting almost like a dream.
Hi! I don’t mean to be anal with grammar but the phrase tagged at the end of that sentence: “almost like a dream” seems to ‘dangle’. I don’t know if it’s just me or it is a dangling modifier.
In my opinion it makes more sense had she started a new sentence and included a subject.
Thank you !

Thank you very much for your explanation. Greetings from Spain.
PASSIVE:
Indians that are not mingled with…
(BE + past participle)
ACTIVE:
Indians that mingle with…
The passive sounds odd here. I’d say:
Indians that do not mingle (or “interact”) with…
