Retransmitir creencias, pensamientos o dichos populares o de otras personas de forma impersonal, apartándote a ti de ese mensaje para no ser parte de ese comentario y no involucrarte.

Reportando creencias y comentarios impersonales en inglés

Hablar de forma impersonal nos permite reportar mensajes de las personas sin hacernos cargo o sin expresar estar de acuerdo con ellos. Las ideas que expresas de forma impersonal no son tuyas, tampoco mías, pueden ser pensamientos de las personas en general.

El reporte impersonal es una manera de comunicar muy formal, suele utilizarse por escrito y utiliza voz pasiva para hacer foco en el mensaje y no en la persona que lo ha dicho. Puedes usar las siguientes expresiones para la construcción de oraciones, seguido de una cláusula principal:

  • It is believed that …
  • It is thought that …
  • It is said that …
  • It is reported that …

Veamos algunos ejemplos:

  • It was believed that he was a hero.
  • It was believed that they had cheated on a test.
  • It is believed that programmers are robots.
  • It is thought that UI and UX, it’s the same thing.

También puedes optar por estructurar estas oraciones con otro sujeto, en pasado, presente o futuro. - It was said that it was an accident. - They said that it was an accident. - People think it is your fault. - It is believed it is your fault.

Reportar de forma impersonal te permitirá desligarte de un pensamiento, sentimiento o creencia. Hablar de forma general sobre las personas o retransmitir los dichos de alguien en particular.

SUMMARY:
PASSIVE REPORTED SPEECH is used in formal spoken and written speech. The speaker acts as a reporter more than a general speaker.
Ideas are impersonal. I’m removing my opinion, my personal feelings out of the situation. I’m just reporting and I’m just a messenger. It could be a speculation. I don’t to pass judgment.
For example: It is said that he did a good job (It is said by people POTENTIALLY that he did a good job).
STRUCTURE: initial clause + main clause.
Initial clause could be: it is believed that, it is thought that, it is said that, it is reported that.
Main clause is a sentence that can stand on its own. It can live alone without any help.
Passive reported speech could be in the PRESENT (it said …. ) , PAST (it was said …) and FUTURE (it will be said … ).
