Grammar
Most sentences are in the active Voice: the Subject of a sentence performs
the action of the verb. In the passive Voice, the receiver of the action is the
Subject of the sentence.
Active Voice: Architect Frank Gehry designed the Guggenheim Museum in
Bilbao, Spain.
SUBJECT ⇒ TRANSITIVE VERB ⇒ OBJECT
QUIEN HACE LA ACCIÓN + VERBO + OBJETO QUE RECIBE LA ACCIÓN
Passive Voice: The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, was designed by
architect Frank Gehry
 Agent Complement ⇒ VERB to be + past participle ⇒(by) SUBJECT
OBJETO QUE RECIBE LA ACCIÓN + VERBO TO BE (al mismo tiempo de
la frase en la voz activa) + PAST PARTICIPLE (use el verbo principal de la
voz activa en el participio, la forma de la tercera columna de la tabla de
verbos) + PREPOSICIÓN ‘BY’ + QUIEN HACE LA ACCIÓN

Form the passive Voice with a form of be and the past pasticiple of a
verb.
These vases are made in Korea
The museum was built in the 1990’s
The Mona Lisa has been shown at the Louvre Museum since 1797

It is common to use the passive Voice when the performer of the action is
not known or not important. Use a by phrase in a passive Voice sentence
when it is important to identify the performer of an action.
Pottery is made by people in many parts of the worl. (not important)
This dress was designed by Donatella Versace. (important)

The passive Voice: Transitive verbs and intransitive verbs

A transitive verb can have a direct object. Transitive verbs can be used in
the active Voice or passive Voice.
Picasso painted Guernica in 1937(AV) -> Guernica was painted in 1937(PV)
Intransitive verb cannot have a direct object. With an intransitive verb,
there is no a “receiver” of an action.
The painting arrives tomorrow.
The Mona Lisa will stay at the Louvre.

The passive Voice: yes/no questions

To form yes/no questions in the passive Voice, move the first auciliary
verb before the Subject.
Simple present Are the famous paintings are bought by art collectors?
tense
Present Are Kurosawa’s films are being shown at the Film
continuous Center?
Present perfect Have Yu Hung’s paintings have been bought by som
world leaders?
Simple past Was the Grand Pyramid at the Louvre was designed by I.
