Passive voice is not precisely a new tense, passive voice is just another way to express things by putting emphasis on the object/action of the sentence. The correct form of passive voice needs the verb to be and the participle of the verb. Verb to be. →. indicate tense.
Passive voice voz passiva é muito comum em notícias de jornal, uma vez que as manchetes, frequentemente, omitem o doer o agente de uma ação. A voz do verbo pode ser tratada enquanto passiva ou ativa, dependendo do enfoque que damos ao sujeito/agente doer ou ao objeto/paciente receiver. Muitos aprendizes de língua inglesa podem encontrar alguma dificuldade no uso do passive voice, porque ele é formado pelo verbo to be. No entanto, para que não restem mais dúvidas, abordaremos, nas seções seguintes, o uso do passive voice e suas regras. Além disso, compararemos a voz ativa e a voz passiva entre si.

Tópicos deste artigo1 - Quando usamos passive voice?2 - Regras do uso da passive voice3 - Diferença entre active voice e passive voice4 - Exercícios resolvidosQuando usamos passive voice? A voz passiva enfatiza o objeto de uma frase. Passive voice é usado em inglês quando se busca enfatizar, em uma oração, o receptor da ação, isto é, o objeto da voz ativa, que na voz passiva encontra-se na posição de sujeito-paciente. Acrescenta-se o uso do apagamento do agente doer da ação, por não ser importante na construção de sentido da frase ou por ser desconhecido1. Ainda é possível omitir o doer da ação quando optamos por assim fazer2. No entanto, em algumas construções da voz passiva, é possível encontrar na posição do objeto o agente da ação, por meio da preposição by por. Não pare agora... Tem mais depois da publicidade ; Observe os exemplos Active voice sujeito agente + verbo + objeto paciente A. The dog ate my cake. O cachorro comeu meu bolo. Passive voice sujeito paciente + verbo auxiliar to be + verbo principal no particípio passado B. My cake was eaten. Meu bolo foi comido. Passive voice sujeito paciente + verbo auxiliar to be + verbo principal no particípio passado + objeto agente C. My cake was eaten by the dog. Meu bolo foi comido pelo cachorro. Mais alguns exemplos D. The bakery was stolen. A padaria foi roubada. E. We heard that the bandits were identified. Nós ouvimos que os bandidos foram identificados. Veja que, em nenhuma das frases anteriores, temos o agente da ação, porque o enfoque está no objeto da voz ativa, que na voz passiva ocupa a posição de sujeito-paciente. Assim, o agente não é identificado nem no final pela preposição by, por não ser significativo. Leia também Prepositions regras, exemplos, usos Regras do uso da passive voice Pode-se utilizar a voz passiva para todos os tempos verbais, desde que se adeque à estrutura necessária. A voz passiva é formada pelo verbo to be + verbo principal no particípio passado. No entanto, só podemos formar a voz passiva com verbos transitivos, ou seja, que são acompanhados por um objeto, uma vez que o objeto da oração na voz ativa ocupará a posição de sujeito na voz passiva.

Going to Am, is, are + going to be + past participle More apps are going to be invented by teens. Mais aplicativos vão ser inventados por adolescentes. Diferença entre active voice e passive voice A diferença entre a voz ativa e a voz passiva baseia-se no uso que fazemos delas quando queremos enfatizar o agente de uma ação ou o paciente. Normalmente, a voz passiva aparece em contextos mais formais de escrita ou de fala3. Hoje em dia, no entanto, quando escrevemos um artigo científico em inglês, recomenda-se o uso da voz ativa para manter o texto mais coeso, uma vez que sua estrutura direta permite uma leitura mais fluida, em comparação com a passiva, que possui uma estrutura mais longa. Por exemplo A. Einstein proposed the theory of relativity. Einstein propôs a teoria da relatividade. B. The theory of relativity was proposed by Einstein. A teoria da relatividade foi proposta por Einstein. As duas frases assemelham-se, porque oferecem ao leitor as mesmas informações. No entanto, a primeira frase permite-nos focalizar o sujeito-agente da ação, a pessoa que propôs algo teoria da relatividade; enquanto a segunda frase ressalta o que foi proposto, isto é, a teoria da relatividade, deixando em segundo plano o agente da ação.

1 Voice: Voice is that form of the transitive verb that shows whether the subject of the sentence is the doer of the action or has the action done to it. For example: ‘Mohan played football.’—This sentence is said to be in the active voice. Here, Mohan is the subject and he is the doer of the action, i.e. ‘played football’.

What is the passive voice? The passive voice in English grammar allows us to make the recipient of the action the focus of the sentence; the person or thing performing the action is unknown, unimportant or obvious. The passive is formed as follows form of be + past participle. Learn the difference between the active and passive voice with Lingolia, then put your knowledge to the test in the exercises. Example My bike was stolen last night. The cellar in our building was broken into and several bikes were taken. I called the police earlier, but they had already been informed by my neighbour. An investigation is being conducted, but the thief has not been arrested yet. Any information should be reported to the police. When to use the passive in English grammar Active sentences usually follow the subject-verb-object word order and focus on the person or thing performing the action. Example A criminal stole my bike. In contrast, the passive voice focuses on the action itself. Passive sentences tell us what happens to the recipient of the action. Example My bike was stolen. We use the passive when the person or thing performing the action known as the agent is unknown, unimportant or obvious. Examples My bike was stolen. → unknown agent An investigation is being conducted. → obvious agent the police A mistake has been made. → avoids naming the agent Any information should be reported to the police. → people in general If we want to include the agent of a passive sentence, we use the preposition by. Example My bike was stolen by a criminal. They had already been informed by my neighbour. How to form the passive in English grammar Passive sentences are formed as follows form of be + past participle of the main verb. Only the form of the verb be changes depending on the tense that we are using; the past participle remains the same in every tense. The table below provides an overview of the passive voice in all of the English tenses. How to change a sentence from active to passive When transforming a sentence from active to passive, we can take a step-by-step approach. Step 1 identify the object of the sentence and bring it to the front active Someone stole my bike. passive My bike … Step 2 identify the tense and conjugate the verb be accordingly active Someone stole my bike. = simple past passive My bike was … Step 3 find the past participle of the main verb active Someone stole my bike. → steal – stole – stolen passive My bike was stolen. Step 4 decide if you need to include the agent active Someone stole my bike. → Who stole the bike? We don’t know. The agent is unknown and therefore unnecessary in this case. Step 5 if the agent is important, we introduce it using the preposition by. active A cyclist caused the crash. passive The crash was caused by a cyclist. This sentence does not make sense without the agent. Note Because the direct object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, we can only use transitive verbs in the passive voice steal a car, write a book, make a mistake …. Intransitive verbs do not take a direct object arrive, die, go … so cannot be used in the passive. Learn more about the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs. Table of English Tenses in Active and Passive Check out the table below to learn how to change active sentences into the passive voice in every tense. The passive in sentences with two objects Certain verbs like ask, give, offer, pay, send, show etc. are used with two objects. Usually, one is a person indirect object and the other is a thing direct object. In the active voice, these sentences can be expressed in two different ways Example Someone gave Josie this calendar. Someone gave this calendar to Josie. indirect object IO Josie; direct object DO this calendar This is the same in the passive voice; either object can become the subject of the passive sentence. Example Josie was given this calendar. indirect object Josie → subject Josie This calendar was given to Josie. direct object this calendar → subject this calendar Changing object pronouns to subject pronouns When the indirect object of an active sentence is an object pronoun me, you, him, her …, we must change it to a subject pronoun in the passive voice. Personal & Impersonal Passive In formal situations such as news reports or academic articles, we use reporting verbs and verbs of speech and thought in the passive voice to express information in a neutral, unbiased way. Common verbs agree, announce, assume, believe, claim, consider, declare, expect, feel, find, know, mention, say, suppose, think, and understand. Such sentences can start with it impersonal passive or with the subject personal passive. Example It is said that this area has a high crime rate. impersonal passive This area is said to have a high crime rate. personal passive = They say that this area has a high crime rate. Impersonal Passive Sentences in the impersonal passive begin with it it is said/believed/agreed etc. + that + clause. Examples It is believed that the suspect has blonde hair. It is said that the neighbourhood is a hotspot for crime. It is assumed that the thief is local to the area. Note in the impersonal form, only the reporting verb is formed in the passive voice; the rest of the sentence stays the same. Personal Passive Sentences in the personal passive begin with the subject and contain an infinitive clause subject + is said/believed/thought etc. + to + infinitive. Examples The suspect is believed to have blonde hair. The neighbourhood is said to be a hotspot for crime. The thief is assumed to be local to the area. We use the perfect infinitive have + past participle after the reporting verb to refer to the past. Example The theft is believed to have occurred at midnight last night. The thief is said to have acted alone. have/get something done We can also form the passive with have/get + object + past participle. Note get is more informal than have. We use this form when someone else does something for us, particularly in the context of paid services. Active I do my hair. I do this myself Passive I have/get my hair done. I pay someone else to do this for me Like with a standard passive, the agent of the action is unknown or unimportant; the focus is on the action itself. Example Tom has/gets his car cleaned at the garage. If we want to include the agent, we use by. Example He had his suit made by a tailor. We can use this structure in every tense Examples I’m getting my hair done tomorrow. present progressive We had our kitchen renovated last year. simple past They’ve had the dishwasher repaired several times. present perfect simple Info This passive structure is a type of causative. You can learn more on our page all about causative structures with have and get. Passive with have In addition to services, the passive with have has an extra meaning. We use have + object + past participle to express an experience that was negative, painful or unpleasant. Examples I had my bike stolen last week. He had his wisdom tooth taken out. we can’t use get in these examples Online exercises to improve your English Improve your English with Lingolia.

Thepassive voice Form. A. The passive of an active tense is formed by putting the verb to be into the same tense as the active verb and adding the past participle of the active verb. The subject of the active verb becomes the 'agent' of the passive verb. The agent is very often not mentioned.
Before knowing the formula below, let us first understand the meaning of Active and Passive sentences, as well as any type of sentence that can be changed either from active to passive or from passive to active. This is important, because not all sentences can be changed or back and forth. To shorten the time, we just see the following explanation ACTIVE VOICE Active Voice is a type of sentence in which the subject acts as the actor of an action Who does what. If in ordinary Indonesian use the formula prefix and suffix “Me / me-kan / ter / ber / memper-kan, etc,” eat, read, play, etc.. Example Jessica S drank P a glass coffee O Rico S is crying P PASSIVE VOICE It is a sentence where the object is subjected to an action by the subject what is done. If in ordinary Indonesian use “Di / di-kan / ter-i, ect” eaten, read, played, etc.. Example A glass coffee O was drunk P by Jessica S The house O has been built P Information Sentences that can be changed from the active to the passive form and vice versa are only verbal expressions that have subject and direct object elements, called transitive verbs, like example number 1 of each of the above. Please remember yes, direct object is not an indirect object. For sentences with an arrangement like example number 2 without direct object in active sentence and without subject in passive sentence, called intransitive verb, can not be changed / reversed.
