Passive voice

Passive voice

1. How do you go from active to passive voice?

   • the active voice is composed of a subject, a verb and a direct object, now to pass it to the passive voice, the direct object is passed as a subject, the verb to be is increased and then the verb is placed in its respective tense and finally we place the subject as agent
     • EXAMPLE
       • The beatles changed the world S v. past c.d.
         • active voice
       • The world was changed by the beatles s v.b v.pasiva agente
         • passive voice

2. If in an active sentence we have direct and indirect complement, it will be the indirect one placed as subject in the passive voice

   • EXAMPLE
     • active voice
       • They showed Mary the room S vp c.i. c.d.
     • passive voice
       • Mary was shown the room s vp c.d.

3. Impersonal passive

   • Se dice = it is said
     • Se piensa = it is thought
       • Se cree = it is belived

4. from positive to negative

   • For this we only deny the verb to be
   • EXAMPLE
     • positive
       • A new shop has been opened
     • negative
       • A new shop hasn´t been opened
