What are passive participles?
Participles are essential grammatical tools. While present participles highlight the subject performing the action, passive participles put the focus on the one receiving the action. This is crucial in the transformation from active to passive sentences. For example, in active voice, we say "The car hit the tree," but in passive voice it becomes "The tree was hit by the car." This variation allows you to manipulate the focus of the sentence as desired.
How is the present participle formed in passive voice?
The formation of this type of participle may seem familiar to you if you are practicing passive structures. The key is to follow the being structure plus the past participle:
- Being [past participle].
Let's look at an example: "Being built from the best material available, the new project is already over budget". Here, "being built" indicates that the project is built, receiving the action of being built.
Practical example
Try to rewrite the following sentence with a present participle in passive voice. The original sentence is: "The mayor felt terrible because he was blamed for the disaster."
Using the structure being plus past participle, the sentence would be: "Being blamed for the disaster, the mayor felt awful".
How is the perfect participle in passive voice formed?
The structure of the perfect participle in passive voice requires a change of approach. Here we do not use the word being, but start with having followed by been and the past participle:
- Having [been] [past participle].
E.g. "Having been neglected for years, the ancient structure fell to pieces." The structure had been neglected, which led to its collapse.
Example of application
Rewrite the sentence: "The program could not fulfill its mission because it ended early". The version with the perfect participle in passive voice would be: "Having been terminated early, the program was unable to fulfill its mission".
How is this knowledge applied in practical exercises?
The practical application of these concepts is well illustrated in interactive exercises that highlight the differences between similar options. Consider the sentence: "They walked the rest of the way home, having been stranded without a car". Here, the use of having been clarifies that being stranded affected their decision to walk.
For practice, another sentence would be, "Having been forced to relocate after the storm, she was ecstatic to have a warm bed to sleep in." The context of having been forced to relocate enhances the meaning of the joy of finding shelter.
Remember that you can find more exercises in the resources section. There, we encourage you to practice, rewrite sentences and participate in discussions to perfect your mastery of the topic. Keep learning!

Having been kept in a cage, the tiger began to show signs of depression
* **Original:** He was looking for a new job because he had been fired the previous week.* **Reescrita:** Having been fired the previous week, he was looking for a new job.
* **Original:** Since the book wasn't promoted well, it didn't sell a lot of copies.* **Reescrita:** Not having been promoted well, the book didn't sell a lot of copies.
* **Original:** She took a trip around the world after she had been awarded the prize money.* **Reescrita:** Having been awarded the prize money, she took a trip around the world.
* **Original:** As they had been warned countless times already, the director chose to hold her tongue.* **Reescrita:** Having been warned countless times already, the director chose to hold her tongue.
* **Original:** The tiger began to show signs of depression because it was kept in a cage.* **Reescrita:** Having been kept in a cage, the tiger began to show signs of depression.
* \----------------------
Aquí te explico la diferencia:
* **"Being kept in a cage"** implica que la acción de mantener al tigre en la jaula es **continua** y sucede **al mismo tiempo** que el tigre muestra signos de depresión. O sea, el tigre sigue estando en la jaula mientras muestra los síntomas de depresión.
* **"Having been kept in a cage"** sugiere que **el tigre estuvo en la jaula en el pasado**, y como resultado de esa experiencia, **ahora** está mostrando signos de depresión. La acción de estar en la jaula ocurrió antes del momento en que empezó a mostrar los síntomas.
Entonces, "being kept in a cage" indica que el tigre está en la jaula en ese mismo instante, mientras que "having been kept in a cage" resalta que el tiempo pasado en la jaula **contribuyó a la situación actual** del tigre.
**La opción más adecuada** para reflejar la causa en el pasado (el tigre estuvo encerrado, y como resultado, muestra depresión) sería "having been kept in a cage."
\------------------------------------------
El orden de los **clauses** (proposiciones) puede variar sin afectar el significado esencial, aunque puede cambiar el énfasis de la oración. Te doy unos ejemplos usando la oración original y las dos formas posibles:
1. **"Having been kept in a cage, the tiger began to show signs of depression."**
* En esta estructura, se enfatiza primero la razón (el hecho de que estuvo en una jaula) y luego el resultado (signos de depresión).
2. **"The tiger began to show signs of depression, having been kept in a cage."**
* Aquí, el énfasis está más en el resultado (los signos de depresión) y luego se menciona la causa (haber estado en la jaula).
Ambos órdenes son válidos y correctos, pero depende de qué parte quieres resaltar más: si la causa (haber estado en la jaula) o el efecto (la depresión).
Con respecto a **"being kept in a cage"**, el orden también puede variar, pero recuerda que este participio presente indica una acción **continua** y que está ocurriendo **simultáneamente**:
1. **"Being kept in a cage, the tiger began to show signs of depression."**
* Enfatiza que el tigre está siendo mantenido en una jaula **en ese momento**, y al mismo tiempo está mostrando signos de depresión.
2. **"The tiger began to show signs of depression, being kept in a cage."**
* Similar, pero con énfasis primero en la depresión, seguido de la causa inmediata (el hecho de que sigue enjaulado).
En resumen, el orden es flexible, pero dependiendo de qué parte quieras destacar y del uso de "having been" o "being", puedes ajustar la estructura según tu intención.
* Having been fired the previous week, He was looking for a new job.
* Not having been well promoted, The book didn´t sell a lot of copies.
* Having been awarded the prize money, she took a trip around the world.
* Having been warned countless time, the director chose to hold her tongue.
* Having been kept in a cage, The tiger began to show signs of depression.
#### **What is the purpose of the passive voice?**
* **Purpose**: The passive voice shifts the focus from the doer of an action to the one that receives the action.
#### **Active vs. passive voice**
* **Active voice**: The subject performs the action.
* Example: "The car hit the tree."
* **Passive voice**: The subject receives the action.
* Example: "The tree was hit by the car."
### **Forming present participles in the passive voice**
To form the present participle in the passive voice, use "being + past participle."
* **Example**:
* Active: "They are using the best material available."
* Passive: "Being built from the best material available, the new project is already over budget."
### **Forming perfect participles in the passive voice**
To form the perfect participle in the passive voice, use "having + been + past participle."
* **Example**:
* Active: "They neglected the ancient structure for years."
* Passive: "Having been neglected for years, the ancient structure fell to pieces."
