I would like to drill this point.
As you know, V1 (ichidan) verbs conjugate to られる for both their potential and passive forms. For example, 食べられる is either "can eat" (potential) or "be eaten" (passive). If you use your Rikaichan or Rikaisama, it will tell you "potential or passive."
So this hypothetical drill has sentences that have V1 in this potential or passive form, and you have to say whether the usage is potential or passive. Do you know of any drills like that?
The problem I am having is I always think it's potential when really it's potential only about 60% of the time.
