Hello everyone and welcome back to my fifth delivery of Blog.
The Passive.
On this occasion I will share information about the importance, use and definition of the passive. With which, I hope you will be very helpful in using it or putting it into practice.
We must understand that a Passive is divided or subdivided into three parts that are: the active subject, the passive subject and the pseudo-object. To have a better view of each of these, I will share their respective definition.
As an active subject we can understand that he is responsible for performing the action indicated by the verb (which is characterized when the verb is copulative). This in turn coincides in number and person with the verb.
On the other hand we have the passive subject, who instead does not perform the action indicated by the verb, but receives it. In the same way as the asset, the passive also agrees in number and person with the verb. The passive subject is found in passive sentences, in which the speaker wants to perform the direct complement object CoD; therefore we will not find it in copulative sentences (to be, to appear).
To conclude we add the third subject that is the Pseudo-object. This is the same as the active and passive, although unlike the asset, this is not the one that performs the action indicated by the verb, and unlike the passive, this is not in a passive sentence.
Hello Javier!
ResponderEliminarI liked your blog very much because is easy to understand.
About the topic, is a very easy one. I didn´t know about one thing, and it´s that instead of using "haven´t" you use "hasn´t been" to make more polite or formal sentences.
Thank you Javi!

Hello Javier.
ResponderEliminarI liked your post and information they are very clear. It helped me to remember the parts of a passive voice sentence and specially when to use a paasive voice!
I just have a question, is there a kind of sentences that can not be used as passive voice?
Thanks you!
ResponderEliminarHello Javi!
Your blog is really nice. I like the way how you explain the Passive.and that thePassive is divided or subdivided into three parts that are: the active subject, the passive subject and the pseudo-object. I learned that passive also agrees in number and person with the verb. My doubt is in which case I need to use the passive voice?
thanks javi...
