Los gerundios pasivos en inglés son estructuras que transforman un verbo en sustantivo y, al mismo tiempo, expresan que la acción recae sobre el sujeto. Aprender a usarlos te ayuda a escribir y hablar con un tono más formal, ideal para entornos profesionales, académicos o presentaciones de trabajo.
Antes de entrar a la forma pasiva, conviene recordar que un gerund es una palabra que funciona como sustantivo pero se deriva de un verbo. La versión más común es el active simple gerund, formada por verbo + -ing, como en debating on which programming language to learn is a moot point without a particular goal in mind.
¿Qué tipos de gerundios existen en inglés?
En total son cuatro formas que vas a encontrar en textos formales y conversaciones técnicas. Cada una cambia el matiz de la oración.
¿Qué es un gerundio pasivo en inglés? Es una estructura que convierte un verbo en sustantivo y muestra que el sujeto recibe la acción. Se forma con being + past participle o con having been + past participle.
¿Cómo se forma el passive simple gerund?
Esta estructura combina being con el participio pasado del verbo principal. Sirve cuando quieres destacar que algo le ocurre al sujeto en el presente o en términos generales [01:30].
Un ejemplo claro del role play de la clase es being appointed to this position is a serious honor. Aquí el sujeto no realiza la acción de nombrar, sino que la recibe, y eso le da peso formal a la frase.
Otro caso útil aparece en being pressured to improve was key to the success of the experimental futuristic techno bachata artist. Fíjate cómo la presión actúa sobre el artista, no al revés.
¿Cuándo usar el passive past gerund?
Esta es la forma más compleja, pero también la más precisa cuando quieres hablar de una acción pasada que recayó sobre el sujeto. Se construye con tres palabras: having + been + past participle [01:55].
Mira este ejemplo: having been punished by his teacher, Billy finally started to behave better. La estructura deja claro que Billy recibió el castigo antes de cambiar su comportamiento, lo que crea una secuencia temporal precisa.
Usar esta forma te da dos ventajas en inglés profesional:
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre being y having been? Being + past participle describe una acción pasiva general o presente. Having been + past participle describe una acción pasiva que ya terminó antes de otro momento del pasado.
¿Cómo identificar el tipo de gerundio en una oración?
La pista está en las palabras auxiliares que aparecen antes del participio. Si ves solo -ing, es activo simple; si ves having + participio, es activo pasado; si ves being + participio, es pasivo simple; y si ves having been + participio, es pasivo pasado.
Revisemos tres oraciones del ejercicio de la clase:
Práctica con verbos específicos
Para dominar las cuatro formas, te conviene escribir tus propias oraciones con verbos asignados [03:50]:
Escribir dos oraciones por cada tipo te da ocho ejemplos personalizados. Esa repetición es lo que fija la estructura en tu memoria activa.
Por qué importan los gerundios pasivos en contextos profesionales
En entornos como el análisis de datos, la programación o la toma de decisiones, los gerundios pasivos ayudan a describir procesos sin enfocar la atención en quién los ejecuta. Frases como being appointed, having been promoted o being inspired by the team suenan más pulidas que sus equivalentes activos.
Este tipo de construcción aparece con frecuencia en reportes, biografías profesionales y descripciones de logros. Cuanto antes lo integres, antes notarás la mejora en tu inglés escrito.

tienes una nemotecnia para esto
Piénsalo como una fórmula de bloques: lo simple va directo al presente (-ing o being), y lo past le agrega la máquina del tiempo con having. Para la voz pasiva, siempre está el rol pasivo (being o been) recibiendo la acción.
¿Cuál de los cuatro tipos te cuesta más visualizar con esta regla?
