Howdy friend! Te damos la bienvenida a la semana 8, donde nos enfocaremos en el aprendizaje y revisión de la gramática estudiada. El tema de la semana lo has visto antes, por lo que te resultará muy sencillo.
Vamos a enfocarnos en un aspecto conocido de la gramática: la voz pasiva.
Esta vez, estudiaremos los tiempos compuestos.
What do you know about... ?
¿Qué sabes de la voz pasiva? ¿Cuáles son sus usos y funciones, estructuras,
formas verbales?

de esta semana, investigar y realizar los ejercicios que te proponemos.
Let´s focus…
Voz pasiva y verbo To Be (Tiempos compuestos)
Forma Pasiva (Passive Form)
En las oraciones pasivas, la persona o cosa que recibe la acción es el sujeto,
mientras la persona o cosa que realiza la acción es el agente y es opcionalmente incluido después del verbo o al final de la oración.
Puede usarse la voz pasiva si se considera
que el elemento que recibe la acción es
más importante o se quiere enfatizar.

¿Observas la diferencia entre voz activa y voz pasiva? Recuerda la estructura
de este tipo de oraciones:
ACTIVA: Sujeto o agente + verbo principal + objeto
(Peter )
(paints)
(the house)
PASIVA: Objeto o paciente + verbo TO BE + participio pasado del verbo
(The house)
(is)
(painted)

La voz pasiva puede formarse en cualquier tiempo verbal: presente, pasado,
futuro o presente perfecto. Observa la figura 3. Recuerda el uso de la voz pasiva y sus ejemplos.

president
The letter

PERFECTO =
(have/has + participio
de to be + participio
del verbo)
Además, podemos formar la voz pasiva con cualquier otro tiempo verbal compuesto, como el pasado perfecto y los verbos modales.
