LA VOZ PASIVA EN INGLS

Utilizamos la voz pasiva cuando queremos dar ms importancia a la accin y no a quien la ha

realizado.

La voz pasiva

Grammatical Rules (Reglas gramaticales)

Se forma la voz pasiva con el verbo auxiliar "to be" y el participio pasado del verbo.
EstructuraSujeto + verbo auxiliar ("to be") + participio pasado.

Para transformar una oracin activa a pasiva tenemos en cuenta los siguientes puntos:
1.
2.
3.
4.

El objeto de la oracin activa pasa a ser el sujeto de la pasiva.

El verbo principal se sustituye por el auxiliar "to be", en su mismo tiempo, junto al
verbo principal en participio.
El sujeto de la oracin principal pasa a ser complemento agente de la pasiva.
Si hacemos mencin en la oracin del sujeto que realiza la accin (sujeto agente), este
ir normalmente precedido por la preposicin "by".
Ejemplos:

Usamos la voz pasiva cuando no sabemos quien ha realizado la accin.

Ejemplos:
A civilian has been killed. (Un civil ha sido asesinado.)

realiz la accin o cuando no queremos decir quien la realiz.
