PASSIVE VOICE IN THE PAST
It is said that a sentence is passively voiced when the meaning of the verb is received by
the grammatical person to whom it refers; An example of this is the following sentence
Buenos Aires was founded by Pedro de Mendoza

The Prayer is formed with the auxiliary of the verb to-be and the past participle of the verb
that conjugates.
When a verb has two complements it can make the passive structures:
A book was sent to Tom by Mr. Smith, A book was sent by Tom Smith.
Tom was sent a book by Mr. Smith

Use

The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or thing that is the object of an
action, rather than the person or thing that performs that action. In other words, the most
important person or thing becomes the subject of prayer.

Grammar structure

First is the subject; Then the verb To-Be (in the appropriate time); I deposited the Past
Participle of the Main Verb and finally the Complement which is an exclusive element of the
passive sentence and tells us who performs the action of the verb and is always preceded
by the preposition BY. In other words, it is as follows: Subject + verb To-be + the past
participle + complement.

PAST PARTICIPLE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE

The passive voice is opposed to the ACTIVE VOICE. When we talk about the

active voice, we refer to the traditional way of constructing sentences in

English.

Use

When we want to give more importance to the action and not to who has done it, we use the

passive voice.

Grammar structure

Subject + have + the past participle + complement.

Subject

In order to construct the sentence to the passive voice we take into

account the object of the sentence to convert it into the subject of

the passive voice, since the subject does not do the action but

receives it.

FUTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE

10
It is mainly used to emphasize action rather than who performs it. In Spanish

we have several forms of passive as we see in the example. In English we will

use the same structure in both cases.

It is important to keep in mind that we make the necessary grammatical

changes, but some of these phrases would never be used in normal language.

Use

The simple future is used for predictions and predictions of the future.

CONCLUSION

13
The past participle of regular verbs. Ends in- ed. There are many

common irregular verbs.

The rules for tense usage in the passive are the same as in the

active.

The object of an active ver becomes the subject of a passive verb.

The most important aspects that we must take into account are the

following:

Take into account that we are seeing the basic structure, but that

these same phrases can be found in a negative or interrogative.
