Leapers Are Good Scope?

unemployment to learn the passive voice (The Passive Voice)

If you see this post by email and you can not see the images click here.

This week in the free English course, study the passive voice.

seems a difficult subject, but you'll see that it is not.

I have prepared some images for help to retain in memory the concept, but prior to show it, I want to read the basic definition of the passive voice.

This is:

is THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

Things (not people), therefore, become the protagonist in passive sentences.

Why?

Basically for two reasons:

  • do not know who performed the action . Example: The book WAS hidden. The book was hidden. Who did it? We do not know.

  • Because we give more importance to the object. Example: Those Are gorgeous dresses . These dresses are beautiful. Clearly in this sentence dresses are the protagonists.

What are the steps to follow to convert an active sentence into passive?


1. We analyzed the active sentence to find your subject, verb and object:

I hid the book . I hid the book. The subject is "I" and the verb is "hid" (past tense "hide" to hide) and the object is "the book"

2. Become the object in subject.

The book

3. Transformed by adding the verb "to be" in past tense and past participle by putting the "hide" that is "hidden." (See verb conversion table below). The book

WAS hidden. ("Was "---> v. past tense" to be "- hidden" past participle "hide") Note: I'm sorry, but you have to saberte participles of all verbs.

4 Optional: I can add who hid . The book is

hidden by me.

tablita now use this magical conversion of active verbs to passive.


Consider the process with some pictures.






Now that we have any clearer we use more images.

We get ideas from this lesson Here we say that the passive voice is used to post messages on sites public.

What watch this video passive ways to discover the signs? A picture is worth a thousand words.


Always pay attention to the subject and uses the magic table above for the conversion of the verb.

Remember that sometimes signals the verb disappears.

For example: Help wanted should be "Help is wanted", but is missing "is". " employees are needed."

leave some examples of signals which use the passive voice.

Subject: Some questions-Some questions Word into passive: can not be answered-Can not Be Answered Agent: by Google, for Google
Note: In this example we use the "modal verb" can in the passive.



No pets allowed. All animals must be on a leash . Image Source

Subject: Pets-Pets passive verb: allowed-are (deleted) allowed. Subject: All Pets-All pets passive verb: should be "Must be. Again a "modal verb" passive. Note: Notice how he refuses to "no" (and not to "not") before the noun "pets" (pets).

Subject: Those who break the law, even if people do not know who they are, Violators Word will stand in future: they fire- Will Be Shot. Subject: Survivors, survivors passive verb: as above.

Note: Note how the passive sentence in English must be translated into English as "fires". More examples with the passive voice in all time
