1. Passive voice

2. Use of passive voice
We use the passive voice when we want to
give him importance to the object or action
and importance isn't given which
realizes
it

3. Grammatical Rules




The passive voice is formed with the auxiliary verb " to
be " and the past participle from the verb.
Structure: subject + auxiliary verb (" to be ") + past
participle + other complements
* Examples:
The speech is written for the president. (El discurso
está escrito para el presidente.)
The house was built in 1975. (La casa fue construida
en 1975.)
My wallet has been stolen. (Ha sido robada mi cartera.)
The room will be cleaned while we are out. (Se limpiará
la habitación mientras estemos fuera.)

4. Active to passive




To transform an active sentence to passive we have the
following points in mind:
1. The object of the active sentence turn into the subject of
the passive sentence.
2. The main verb is replaced by the auxiliary " to be ", in the
same time, beside to the principal verb in participle
. 3. The subject of the principal sentence turn into
''complemento agente'' of the passive sentence. 4. If we
mention in the sentence of the subject that realizes the
action, this one will be normally preceded by the preposition
"by".

5. Examples

Mark Twain wrote the book ? The book was
written by Mark Twain. (¿Mark Twain escribió el
libro? El libro fue escrito por Mark Twain.)
The housekeeper will clean the room ? The
room will be cleaned by the housekeeper. (¿La
ama de casa limpiará la habitación? La
