En espacios comunes como un hotel o un parque, existen reglas o instrucciones que se deben respetar sin importar quién realice las acciones.

Uso de "passive infinitive” para expresar reglas o instrucciones

Expresar una regla o instrucción sin importar quién reciba la orden se realiza de forma pasiva y se conoce como "passive infinitive”. La misma emplea voz pasiva para hacer foco en el objeto y no en el sujeto.

Forma activa Forma pasiva
Josh needs to teach a class online. A class needs to be taught online.
Laura needs to send the email by 3 o’clock. The email needs to be sent by 3 o’clock.

Las oraciones se construyen con la estructura to be + past participle.

En los ejemplos anteriores, la forma activa hace foco en las acciones de Josh y Laura. La forma pasiva no nos importa quién realiza la acción, nos interesa qué sucede con la clase o el email.

Veamos algunos ejemplos más:

  • The floor needs to be mopped.
  • The booking needs to be made before the check in.
  • The room needs to be cleaned every day.
  • The staff uniforms need to be worn at all times.

De esta manera, puedes estructurar oraciones para dar instrucciones en lugares públicos, equipos de trabajo o entornos donde deban respetarse ciertas reglas. No nos importa el sujeto, se hace foco en el objeto o la acción.
