La voz pasiva se forma con el verbo to be y el participio del verbo principal. En la voz pasiva, el objeto de la oración activa se convierte en el sujeto, y el sujeto de la activa pasa a ser el complemento agente introducido por "by". La voz pasiva se usa comúnmente en inglés cuando lo más importante es la acción en lugar del agente. También se usa cuando el sujeto de la activa es un pronombre o cuando se desea omitir al agente. Existen varias formas de construir oraciones pasivas dependiendo del número de objetos en
Verbs are either in active or passive voice. We use Active Voice most of the time. Active Voice has subject first and object second. In the Active Voice, the object receives the action of the verb. In Passive Voice it is the opposite. In the Passive Voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. In the Active Voice, the subject and verb relationship is straightforward; the subject is the do-er (of the action). In the Passive Voice, the subject of the sentence is not a do-er (of the action). Passive voice is used when the action is the focus, not the subject.

Uncountable nouns can be difficult for English learners. The reason for this is that nouns that are uncountable in English can be countable in another language or vice versa. Here is a list of 1147 uncountable nouns in English that students can refer to when in doubt.
An infinitive is a form of verb that appears in its basic form. It is preceded by a particle “to,” and can serve as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly discussed about Infinitives and its usage in very detailed manner. please use this Power Point Presentation for your Reference.

Al transformar una oración activa en pasiva, se producen una serie de cambios. El Objeto de la
oración activa se convierte en el sujeto de la oración pasiva. El verbo en la oración pasiva se pone
en el mismo tiempo que el de la voz activa y finalmente, el que era sujeto de la voz activa se
convierte en complemento agente (precedido por by) en la oración pasiva.
Sujeto Verbo Objeto
Activa:
Pasiva:

2. Los verbos modales (can, must, have to, should, etc) y la forma going to no pueden ponerse
en pasiva ya que no tienen participio.En estos casos, es el infinitivo que va detrás el que se pone
en pasiva:
He had to abandon the house > The house had to be abandoned.
The family is going to sell their house > Their house is going to be sold.
You can do it easily > It can be done easily.
El uso de la voz pasiva es muy frecuente e inglés. Se utiliza sobre todo cuando nos interesa
más la acción realizada que el sujeto que la realiza, bien porque éste es desconocido, es poco
importante o no se quiere nombrar.
También se suele usar la pasiva cuando el sujeto de la oración activa es un pronombre persona
(we, they, etc), nobody, somebody, etc.
They discovered the truth > The truth was discovered. (Lo importante es la acción, no quién la hizo)
Someone broke the glass > The glass was broken. (No se sabe quién lo ha roto)
Cuando se quiere nombrar al sujeto de la oración activa, este se utiliza como complemento
agente en la oración pasiva precedido de la preposición by.
Shakespeare wrote hamlet > Hamlet was written by Shakespeare.
Picasso painted that picture > That picture was painted by Picasso.
Si el sujeto de la oración activa es un pronombre personal (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they), al
pasarla a pasiva debes cambiarlo por su correspondiente pronombre objeto (me, you, him, her, it,
us, you, them) ya que va detrás de la preposición by. No obstante, cuando el sujeto de la activa es
un pronombre personal no se suele poner como complemento agente en la pasiva.
He will inform everybody > Everybody will be informed (by him)
ACTIVA CON 2 OBJETOS.
Si la oración activa tiene dos objetos (objeto directo y objeto indirecto) pueden hacerse dos
pasivas; una con el objeto directo como sujeto de la oración pasiva y otra con el objeto indirecto
como sujeto de la oración pasiva. La más común de las dos es que que toma como sujeto pasivo el
objeto indirecto de la oración activa.
ACTIVA: They offered Harry a good job
PASIVA 1: Harry was offered a good job.
PASIVA 2: A good job was offered to Harry.

3. Como hemos mencionado anteriormente, la primera es la más común.
Fijaté, además, como cuando se utiliza como sujeto de la pasiva el objeto directo, al poner el
objeto indirecto, éste irá precedido de “to”.
Entre los verbos que admiten esta estructura cabe destacar: give, send, show, lend, ask, tell,
order y pay.
They didn´t lend us any money > We weren´t lent any money.
No nos prestaron dinero
They have paid me a lot of money this time > I have been paid a lot of money this time.
Me han pagado mucho dinero esta vez
OTROS USOS DE LA PASIVA.
La pasiva puede emplearse también, con verbos como say, think, report, know, believe, etc. En
estos casos, y en estructuras como las que veremos a continuación, podemos formar dos tipos
diferentes de pasiva.
ACTIVA:
Experts say that this house dates back to the 12th century.
PASIVA 1:
It is said that this house dates back to the 12th century.
PASIVA 2:
This house is said to date back to the 12th century.
