Transcripción
¿Qué es la voz pasiva y cómo se usa?
La voz pasiva es una construcción verbal que modifica el foco de atención de las oraciones. Mientras que en la voz activa el sujeto realiza la acción, en la voz pasiva el sujeto recibe la acción que indica el verbo. Este cambio de foco es crucial para resaltar lo que le sucede al objeto de la oración en lugar de quién realiza la acción. Entender la voz pasiva no solo mejorará tus habilidades lingüísticas, sino que también te permitirá dar un matiz diferente a tus oraciones, haciendo hincapié en la acción misma.
¿Cómo se forma la voz pasiva?
Para formar la voz pasiva, necesitas de dos elementos principales:
- El verbo ser conjugado según el tiempo verbal que desees usar.
- El verbo principal en su forma de participio pasado.
Ejemplo de voz pasiva
Considere las dos siguientes frases:
- Activa: "El mecánico del garaje arregla el carro."
- Pasiva: "El carro está siendo arreglado en el garaje."
En la primera frase "el mecánico" es quien realiza la acción, y "el carro" es el objeto. En la segunda, el foco se desplaza a “el carro”, que ahora es el sujeto de la frase, mientras que “en el garaje” sigue aportando contexto, pero la acción recae sobre el carro mismo.
Diferencias entre verbos regulares e irregulares
Al usar la voz pasiva, es crucial manejar correctamente los participios pasados, tanto de verbos regulares como irregulares.
-
Verbos Regulares: Forman el participio pasado añadiendo -ed a la forma base. Por ejemplo, "arreglar" se convierte en "arreglado".
-
Verbos Irregulares: No siguen un patrón fijo para formar el participio pasado, así que es importante memorizar estas formas. Ejemplo: "'enviar' se convierte en 'enviado'".
Práctica: Cambia de activa a pasiva
Transformar oraciones de voz activa a pasiva requiere identificar correctamente el sujeto, verbo y objeto original para luego ajustarlos según las reglas de la voz pasiva.
-
Original Activa: "El concesionario vende carros a pequeños clientes."
- Pasiva: "Los carros son vendidos a pequeños clientes por el concesionario."
-
Original Activa: "El restaurante prepara muchos platos deliciosos todos los días."
- Pasiva: "Muchos platos deliciosos son preparados todos los días por el restaurante."
Estas conversiones te capacitan para dar un foco nuevo a tus frases, posicionando la acción o el impacto sobre el objeto como el tema central.
¿Cómo afecta esto el significado de la oración?
La transformación a voz pasiva permite, en muchos casos, omitir el agente de la acción, si este no es relevante, y enfocarse en el resultado. Al centrarse en el objeto, se pueden dar otras perspectivas, dejando a la imaginación en función de la acción y sus efectos.
Aplicaciones prácticas
La voz pasiva es utilizada con frecuencia en:
- Textos formales o académicos.
- Informes donde el actor es desconocido o irrelevante.
- Literatura, para dar un énfasis narrativo.

La **voz pasiva** en inglés es una estructura gramatical que se utiliza para cambiar el enfoque de una oración. Aquí tienes algunas razones por las que aprender a usarla puede ser útil:
1. **Enfatizar la acción, no el sujeto:** La voz pasiva se usa cuando queremos destacar la acción realizada en lugar de quién la lleva a cabo. [Por ejemplo: “The film is directed by John Smith” (La película está dirigida por John Smith)](https://www.britishcouncil.es/blog/voz-pasiva-ingles).
2. **Mantener el sujeto anónimo:** A veces, conocemos al agente que realiza la acción, pero no es relevante mencionarlo. [Por ejemplo: “He was arrested last night” (Fue detenido anoche)](https://www.britishcouncil.es/blog/voz-pasiva-ingles).
3. **Crear un tono de órdenes o instrucciones:** La voz pasiva se utiliza en letreros y normas para evitar responsabilidades. [Por ejemplo: “Smoking is not permitted” (No se permite fumar)](https://www.britishcouncil.es/blog/voz-pasiva-ingles).
4. **Describir procesos de manera impersonal:** Si estamos explicando cómo se hace algo, la voz pasiva nos permite centrarnos en las acciones en lugar de quién las realiza. [Por ejemplo: “Chocolate eggs are made with milk and cocoa” (Los huevos de chocolate se hacen con leche y cacao)](https://www.britishcouncil.es/blog/voz-pasiva-ingles)

📝 Here are my notes about this class.
📌 In the passive voice, the focus is on the action or the recipient of the action.
**Structure**
> Object + **is/are** + **verb in past participle** + complement (by + agent)
📢Agent is who performs the action, this is optional when using passive voice.
**Examples**
* (Active voice): The mechanic in the garage fixes the car. 🔎 The focus is on **the mechanic.**
* (Passive voice): The car **is fixed** in the garage. 🔎The focus is on the **car**.
* (Active voice): The company sends the boxes to the clients. 🔎The focus is on the **company**.
* (Passive voice): The boxes are sent to the clients by the company. 🔎The focus is on the **boxes**.
💭Remember, regular verbs in their past participle form end with "-ed", but there are many irregular verbs that usually change completely in their past participle form.
Here is a list with some of common irregular verbs:

* **A lot of books are read at school by the students.**
* **A report is written for the monthly meeting by the directors.**
* **50 houses are built a month by the new construction company.**
* **Several buildings are cleaned by XY Services in this area.**
* **Packages are delivered to remote residents by DPT.**
Yes, those sentences are correct examples of passive voice sentences in the past participle form.
1. "The cars were sold to small clients by the dealer" uses the structure: subject (the cars) + verb to be (were) + past participle (sold).
2. "Many delicious dishes were made by the restaurant every day" follows the same structure with subject (dishes) + verb to be (were) + past participle (made).
Both focus on the action done to the subjects rather than who performed the action, which is key in passive voice.
ACTIVE VOICE = The subject performs the action.
\- A dog chased the ball
PASSIVE VOICE = The subject "receives" the action.
\- The ball was chased by a dog

#### **What is passive voice?**
Passive voice is used when we focus on the action happening to the subject rather than who is performing the action.
#### **Understanding passive voice**
1. **Active Voice Example:**
* The mechanic in the garage fixes the car.
* The mechanic is doing the action.
2. **Passive Voice Example:**
* The car is fixed in the garage.
* The focus is on the car, not on who is doing the action.
#### **Identifying differences**
* **Active Voice:**
* The mechanic is the subject performing the action.
* The verb "fixes" shows the action.
* **Passive Voice:**
* The focus shifts to the car.
* The verb changes to a form of "to be" (is) + past participle (fixed).
#### **Forming passive voice**
1. **Structure:**
* Verb "to be" (is, are) + past participle (fixed, sent).
2. **Regular Verbs:**
* The past participle is formed by adding "ed" to the verb (fix -> fixed).
3. **Irregular Verbs:**
* The past participle can vary and does not always follow a pattern (send -> sent).
#### **Example with irregular verb**
* **Active Voice:**
* The company sends the boxes to the clients.
* **Passive Voice:**
* The boxes are sent to the clients by the company.
#### **Using "by" in passive voice**
* When we need to mention who is performing the action, we use "by":
* The boxes are sent by the company.
#### **Active vs. passive voice structure**
* **Active Voice:**
* Subject + Verb + Object
* Example: The company sends the boxes.
* **Passive Voice:**
* Object (now the subject) + Verb "to be" + Past Participle + "by" + Subject (optional)
* Example: The boxes are sent by the company.
