Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

The appropriate one for your sentence? They can each have nuances/connotations

Is any of them too formal or odd?

As a general rule, I don't think so, but ultimately context

thorn tusk
#

exs:

Ici, on parle anglais
Ici, l'anglais est parlé

Ça ne se dit pas
Ça n'est pas dit

#

And the context would be an oral exam, more specifically the défi b2.

It doesn’t really matter. Generally true passive voice is viewed as inelegant compared to other forms, but it’s better to show you have mastery of all forms you can in an oral exam

yes, generally
"on parle anglais"
and
"ça se dit pas"
are preferred in spoken and written language
