La voz pasiva simple se forma al intercambiar el lugar y la funcin gramatical entre el sujeto agente (sujeto de la expresin u oracin en voz

activa) y el sujeto paciente (generalmente, el objeto directo). Para estructurar la voz pasiva, se debe tener en cuenta lo siguiente: El tiempo gramatical del verbo principal (es decir, si est en presente, pasado o futuro). Se usa como enlace (auxiliar) el verbo To BE (sin cambiar el tiempo gramatical del verbo principal), seguido del participio pasado (del verbo que apareca como principal en la voz activa). El sujeto paciente (objeto directo), en la voz activa, se convierte en "sujeto virtual" en la voz pasiva; por su parte, el sujeto agente de la voz activa pasa a desempearse como receptor [precedido de la preposicin POR (BY: en ingls)]. Ejemplos: Voz activa: *"Marietta understood the lesson". (marita nderstud de lson) *Marietta entendi la leccin. Voz pasiva: *The lesson was understood by Marietta. (de lson wus nderstud bi marita) *La leccin fue entendida por Marietta. Voz activa:

*"Ralph listens to the radio". (ralf lsens tu de ridio) *Ralph escucha la radio. Voz pasiva: *"The radio is listened by Ralph". (de ridio is lsent bi ralf) *La radio es escuchada por Ralph. Voz activa: *"Some criminal people kill many whales daily". (som crminol ppol kil mni juiols dili) *Algunos criminales destruyen (eliminan) muchas ballenas diariamente. Voz pasiva: *"Many whales are killed daily by some criminal people". (mni juiols ar kilt dili bi som crminol ppol) *Muchas ballenas son eliminadas diariamente por algunos criminales". (C.A.)

Para decir quin haca la accin o qu la causaba, usa 'by'. This house was built by my mother. / Esta casa fue construida por mi madre. Washington was bombed by Pakistan. / Washington fue bombardeado por Pakistn. La voz pasiva se suele utilizar cuando se desconoce o no interesa mencionar quin o qu hace la accin.

German is spoken here / Aqu se habla alemn When was this house built? / Cuando se construy ( fue construida) sta casa? A lot of songs have been written about love / Se han escrito muchas canciones sobre el amor
