TP N° 6 . PASSIVE VOICE.
THEORY. Grammatical Rules (Reglas gramaticales)
Se forma la voz pasiva con el verbo auxiliar "to be" y el participio pasado del verbo.
Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to be) + participio pasado…
Para transformar una oración activa a pasiva tenemos en cuenta los siguientes puntos:
1. El objeto de la oración activa pasa a ser el sujeto de la pasiva.
2. El verbo principal se sustituye por el auxiliar "to be", en su mismo tiempo, junto al verbo principal en participio.( Verbos regulares d,ed,ied) Verbos irregulares ( 3° columna)
Verb To be
1.En presente: am,is,are.
2.En pasado: Was, Were.
3.En future: Will be.
3. El sujeto de la oración principal pasa a ser complemento agente de la pasiva.
Si ese sujeto es un pronombre personal:I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they. Cambiará por el pronombre objetivo correspondiente : Me, you, him, her,it, us, you, them.
4. Si hacemos mención en la oración del sujeto que realiza la acción (sujeto agente), este irá normalmente precedido por la preposición "by". ( que significa "por" )
Uses (Usos)
1. Usamos la voz pasiva cuando no sabemos quién ha realizado la acción
2. Usamos la voz pasiva cuando queremos dar más importancia a lo que pasó, que a quién realizó la acción o cuando no queremos decir quien la realizó.
Ejemplos:
Presente.
He writes the speech ( Él escribe el discurso )
| The speech is written by him..(El discurso es escrito por él. Past. Mark Twain wrote the book.(Mark Twain escribió el libro.) The book was written by Mark Twain.(El libro fue escrito por Mark Twain.) Future The housekeeper will clean the room.(El ama de casa limpiará la habitación.) The room will be cleaned by the housekeeper.(La habitación será limpiada por el ama de casa.) En caso de que los verbos estén negativo, lo que se niega siempre es el verbo to be en presente y pasado, y el auxiliar will en futuro. |
