4eso Pasiva
4eso Pasiva
Form:
To make passive voice, the first thing we need is the object of the active voice, followed by the
passive verb which is formed by verb to be in the same verbal tense as the active voice+ past
participle.
Eg:
active passive
The hunter killed the lion. > The lion was killed by the hunter.
We use the passive voice when we want to focus on the object and not in the subject because
it is not important, not necessary or obvious.
Eg:
However, sometimes the subject of the active is important, in that case, we write as the agent
always preceded by the preposition “by”.
Eg:
The music and the words have been made by John and Paul
