VIRTUAL SESSION FOR THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 9TH
Hello everybody, this is the virtual session, remember to send the answers by e-mail
1. Read the following theory to support yourself
Active Voice, Passive Voice
There are two special forms for verbs called voice:
Active voice
Passive voice
The active voice is the "normal" voice. This is the voice that we use most of the time. You are probably already familiar with the active voice. In the active voice, the object receives the action of the verb:active subject verb object
>
Cats eat fish.
The passive voice is less usual. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb:passive subject verb object
<
Fish are eaten by cats.
The object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb: subject verb object
active Everybody drinks water.
passive Water is drunk by everybody.
Passive Voice
The passive voice is less usual than the active voice. The active voice is the "normal" voice. But sometimes we need the passive voice. In this lesson we look at how to construct the passive voice, when to use it and how to conjugate it.
Construction of the Passive Voice
The structure of the passive voice is very simple:
subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main verb (past participle)
The main verb is always in its past participle form.
Look at these examples:subject auxiliary verb (to be) main verb (past participle)
Water is drunk by everyone.
100 people are employed by this company.
I am paid in euro.
We are not paid in dollars.
Are they paid in yen?
Use of the Passive Voice
We use the passive when:
we want to make the active object more important
we do not know the active subject subject verb object
give importance to active object (President Kennedy) President Kennedy was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald.
active subject unknown My wallet has been stolen. ?
Note that we always use by to introduce the passive object (Fish are eaten by cats).
Conjugation for the Passive Voice
We can form the passive in any tense. In fact, conjugation of verbs in the passive tense is rather easy, as the main verb is always in past participle form and the auxiliary verb is always be. To form the required tense, we conjugate the auxiliary verb. So, for example:
present simple: It is made
present continuous: It is being made
present perfect: It has been made
Here are some examples with most of the possible tenses:infinitive to be washed
simple present It is washed.
past It was washed.
future It will be washed.
conditional It would be washed.
continuous present It is being washed.
past It was being washed.
future It will be being washed.
conditional It would be being washed.
Verbos modales ~ English Modal Verbs
Los verbos modals son una categoría de verbos auxiliares. Verbos modales también se llaman modales auxiliares o simplemente modales. Hay diez verbos modales ingleses:can could
may might
shall should
will would
must ought to
Los modales expresan el modo de un verbo: la capacidad, la posibilidad, la necesidad u una otra condición del verbo principal.
Estes verbos se usan con verbos principales para formar afirmaciones o preguntas. Los modales no tienen conjugaciones ni tiempo y no se pueden usar sin verbo principal.
En inglés, el verbo principal siempre queda en forma infinitiva sin to, excepto el modal ought.
En una afirmación, el orden de las palabras es sujeto + modal + verbo principal.sujeto modal verbo principal
They
Ellos can
pueden come.

Mike
Mike should

En las preguntas, el orden de palabras es modal + sujeto + verbo principal.preguntas de sí o no (yes-no questions)

Se usa could para formar el condicional el cual contiene dos oraciones: una con "if" (si) y la otra con el resultado. Could está puesto en la oración del resultado.

Si tuviera tiempo, podría jugar tennis contigo.

Los modales will / shall + verbo principal forma el tiempo futuro y indican una intención o una acción que pasará en el futuro.
