“Voice”          is linked to the verb
because it is considered one of the
features that define it, together
with “tense”, “person”, “aspect” or
“mood”.
Voice tells us about the agent and
the patient of the verb action and it
involves a contrast between
“Active” and “Passive”.
In an active sentence, the subject
realises the verb action whereas in a
passive sentence, the subject
receives the verb action.

              SUBJECT                      Verb)       AGENT)
Passive Father Christmas has been caught by the young policeman
In English we use the passive voice for several reasons, all of them important.


   When we do not know the identity of the agent of the action.
   When it is not important to mention the agent of the action.
   When we want to avoid mentioning the agent of the action.
               (In these three cases, the agent complement is omitted)
   When we want to put emphasis on the agent of the action by means of
   the “end-focus” theory.

            But for whatever reason, the passive voice is a very useful
            linguistic instrument and we use it in English much more
            often than we do in Spanish. This is probably the most
            important difference.
Normal Passives follow the
    three general steps to form
        passive sentences:

   1. OBJECT   PASSIVE SUBJECT
   2. VERB     BE+PARTICIPLE
3. SUBJECT     AGENT COMPLEMENT
1. OBJECT                                PASSIVE SUBJECT

   To transform an active sentence into a passive one, it is commonly believed
that the main verb in active should be transitive, i.e., there should be a Direct
Object in the sentence. However, the English language proves that a passive
sentence can also be created from the Indirect Object in the active sentence.
Therefore, this leads us to say that to form a passive sentence we need to have
an Object in the active counterpart.
Whatever the object, we must be very careful when selecting it and turning it
into a passive subject, bearing in mind that the syntactic function of subject in
English is realised by a noun phrase, not by a prepositional phrase.
                   “The burglars had cut an enormous hole in the steel door.”

              “In the steel door had been cut by the burglars an enormous hole” 
              “An enormous hole had been cut by the burglars in the steel door.” 

In addition to this, a subject can never be an object pronoun. Therefore, in those
cases where the indirect object is realised by an object pronoun, we must change
this into a subject pronoun in order to turn it into a passive subject.
                                  “They saw him in Australia”
                                   “He was seen in Australia”
2. VERB                          BE+PARTICIPLE

                             “Bicycles must not be left in the hall”
               In these cases the passive voice is more often used than
                                              But…

Some verbs are considered ditransitive verbs because they
have two objects: a DIRECT OBJECT & an INDIRECT OBJECT.
Some of these verbs are:

    Give                 Lend             Order             Hand
    Send                 Ask              Pay               Grant
    Show                 Tell             Bring             Allow

With these verbs, changes into passive can be done in two different
ways. This is called the double passive. One of these constructions
is more frequently used than the other.

Passive €2000 were granted to them by the Ministry of Education

KEEP YOUR                   ON THIS:
  The Indirect Object is always preceeded by the preposition TO (even if it
  is not used in the active) because the passive construction requires it.
  This type of transformation is less frequently done. And never is it used
  with the verbs “ask”, “tell”, “order” and “allow”.

                I.O.          PASSIVE SUBJECT

He was brought a wooden horse from Paris by his mother

A wooden horse from Paris was brought to him by his mother
The company has just been sent a letter of complaint

A letter of complaint has just been sent to the company
This type of passive occurs when in the active we find a
construction like this:

    Active        IMPERSONAL SUBJECT
                  (They, people, everybody, etc.)
                                                       VERB
                                                     (reporting)
                                                                    THAT-
                                                                   CLAUSE

                                                         *

* Reporting verbs are those used to report what someone says or has
said. Some of them fit into the group of verbs of thinking or opinion.
And they are verbs like the following ones:

    Say                    Know                     Consider       Estimate
    Believe                Assume                   Feel           Report
    Understand             Claim                    Find           Think

With this type of construction, changes into passive can be done in
two different ways.

                  PASSIVE 1                    PASSIVE 2
PASSIVE 1



Active         Most people believe that she is very intelligent
                 Everybody says he didn’t steal the money
               IMPERSONAL SUBJECT                  VERB         THAT-
               (They, people, everybody, etc.)   (reporting)   CLAUSE




               IMPERSONAL SUBJECT                PASSIVE        THAT-
                      “IT”                        VERB         CLAUSE

Passive        It isisbelieved that she is very intelligent
                It     said that he didn’t steal the money


KEEP YOUR                         ON THIS:
  Notice how this passive construction is also an Impersonal Passive since it is
  introduced by a so-called “preparatory IT” which is, in fact, an impersonal subject.
  This type of passive would correspond to the Spanish “pasiva refleja” and would be
  translated into “SE… (dice, cree, comenta…)”
PASSIVE 2



Active        Most people believe that she is very intelligent
                Everybody says he didn’t steal the money

               (They, people, everybody, etc.)   (reporting)    CLAUSE




                   SUBJECT                PASSIVE         (NOT) TO INF/PERFECT INF

                  is said not to to be very intelligent


KEEP YOUR                         ON THIS:
  This type of passive would also correspond to the Spanish “pasiva refleja” and would
  be translated into “SE… (dice, cree, comenta…)”. Otherwise, it would sound
  unnatural to translate it into Spanish as “Él es dicho no haber robado el dinero”

If we have a prepositional or phrasal verb in an active
sentence, we should follow the same steps as in the normal passive,
but bearing in mind that the preposition or the particle must be
retained in the passive construcion.

Some verbs which are transitive cannot be
     made passive. Some of them are:




Have               Love            Like

  • 3.
  • 4. “Voice” is linked to the verb because it is considered one of the features that define it, together with “tense”, “person”, “aspect” or “mood”. Voice tells us about the agent and the patient of the verb action and it involves a contrast between “Active” and “Passive”. In an active sentence, the subject realises the verb action whereas in a passive sentence, the subject receives the verb action.
  • 5. Doctor, I am ignored.
  • 6. WHICH CHANGES I He has caught have been HAVE TAKEN PLACE caught in the him in the FROM ACTIVE TO chimney, Sarge. PASSIVE

  • 8. In English we use the passive voice for several reasons, all of them important. When we do not know the identity of the agent of the action. When it is not important to mention the agent of the action. When we want to avoid mentioning the agent of the action. (In these three cases, the agent complement is omitted) When we want to put emphasis on the agent of the action by means of the “end-focus” theory. But for whatever reason, the passive voice is a very useful linguistic instrument and we use it in English much more often than we do in Spanish. This is probably the most important difference.
  • 9.
  • 10. Normal Passives follow the three general steps to form passive sentences: 1. OBJECT PASSIVE SUBJECT 2. VERB BE+PARTICIPLE 3. SUBJECT AGENT COMPLEMENT
  • 11. 1. OBJECT PASSIVE SUBJECT To transform an active sentence into a passive one, it is commonly believed that the main verb in active should be transitive, i.e., there should be a Direct Object in the sentence. However, the English language proves that a passive sentence can also be created from the Indirect Object in the active sentence. Therefore, this leads us to say that to form a passive sentence we need to have an Object in the active counterpart. Whatever the object, we must be very careful when selecting it and turning it into a passive subject, bearing in mind that the syntactic function of subject in English is realised by a noun phrase, not by a prepositional phrase. “The burglars had cut an enormous hole in the steel door.” “In the steel door had been cut by the burglars an enormous hole”  “An enormous hole had been cut by the burglars in the steel door.”  In addition to this, a subject can never be an object pronoun.
