THE PASSIVE VOICE

La voz pasiva en ingls se forma con el verbo to be en el tiempo verbal correspondiente y el participio de pasado. El participio de pasado se forma aadiendo ed si es regular, teniendo en cuenta las reglas de ed, y si es irregular con la 3 columna de los verbos.

TO BE + PARTICIPIO DE PASADO

E.g.: I write the letters (active present simple) > The letters are written (passive present simple) E.g.: I wrote the letters (active past simple) > The letters were wrote (passive, simple past)

A.- CAMBIOS DE VOZ ACTIVA A VOZ PASIVA

Cuando se pasa una oracin en voz activa a voz pasiva hay una serie de cambios a tener en cuenta:

El sujeto de la voz activa pasa a ser el sujeto agente (by + agent) El objeto de la voz activa pasa a ser el sujeto de la voz pasiva El verbo de voz activa cambia a voz pasiva (to be + participio)

E.g.: He cooks the food Sujeto verbo objeto activo E.g.: The food is cooked by him Sujeto verbo agente Paciente pasivo

B.- VOZ PASIVA EN PRESENT SIMPLE

E.g.: The rooms were cleaned (by us) E.g.: Rome was not built in one day E.g.: This wallet was found in the street

Algunos verbos van seguido con dos objetos, uno de persona (indirecto) y otro de cosa (directo) E.g. They gave John a warm welcome Indirecto directo

La forma ms frecuente de hacer la pasiva de estos verbos es que el complemento indirecto pase a ser el sujeto de la pasiva. Es menos frecuente que el complemento directo pase a ser el sujeto. E.g.: They gave John a warm welcome Indirecto directo John was given a warm welcome (frecuente) A warm wecolme was given to John (infrecuente)

E.- USOS DE LA VOZ PASIVA

El uso de la pasiva en ingls es mucho ms frecuente que su uso en castellano. Esto se debe a los diferentes usos que tiene:

Cuando el que realiza la accin, el agente, es obvio o desconocido o poco importante. E.g.: My house was painted E.g.: My purse was stolen E.g.: The letter were typed

Cuando el nfasis se quiere poner en el objeto o la accin ms que en la persona o cosa que hace la accin. E.g.: The room must be cleaned E.g.: The tickets were sold

Cuando se quiere ocultar quin realiz la accin, por ejemplo, para evitar sealar quin es el responsable o bien por modestia. E.g.: Our tickets were lost E.g.: New ideas have been presented with great success.
