The active voice is using when we focus the action of the
verb in the subject, but when we want to give more
importance to the action and not who to those have made,
use the passive voice.
Introduction


Active voice:
Berln ate all the cookies.


Passive voice:
All the cookies were eaten for Berln.






Examples:

The structure for the passive voice is:

Subject + auxiliar verb to be + past participe

Examples:
The wallets Saulo has been stolen.

The classroom will be cleaned while we are out.

Grammatical Rules

Examples:
Active voice
Perla wrote a book
Passive voice
The book was written by Perla


The uses of the passive voice are:

o We use the passive voice when we do not know who
performed the action.
o when we give more importance to what happened, who did
it or when the action is not to say who made it.

Note: We can not use the passive voice with intransitive
verbs like "die", "arrive" or "go". Intransitive verbs are verbs
that do not take a direct object
