Let's start with passives!


Why don't we anticipate the grammar of this term?

   During this term,we're going to learn how to do passives sentences so let's start!

 PASSIVES SENTENCES 
 
 We usually use the passive when we want to emphasize the action instead of emphasizing the person who carried it out.For example: Yo leo un libro.....El libro es leido por mí.
                                                 <<I read a book......A book is read by me>>
 **Estructure:

             Voz activa:   The italians    invented     jeans.
                                   Sujeto          Verbo       Objeto

             Voz pasiva:  Jeans   were invented   by the italians.
                               Sujeto         Verbo        Complemento
                                                cambiado        agente

We mus't to pay attention to all the changes of verb tenses:

 
      **Passives with reporting verbs
La voz pasiva también se usa para informar sobre sentimientos o creencias.Los verbos más usados serán:accept,believe,expect,hope,know,say,think and understand.For example:
                        Dicen que el restaurante es muy bueno
                                    <<That restaurant is said to be very good>>
