passive voice

2. The Passive voice
It is a construction or verbal conjugation in
some languages for which he appears to the
subject as liabilities (patient subject), where as
the action executed by the verb is recovered by
a complement (agentival complement) and not
by the fastened agent of the verb in active voice.
The passive voice converts to a transitive verb
into an intransitive verb with one only principal
possible argument (the agent when it expresses
by means of an enclosure marked with oblique
or prepositional case)

3. Grammatical Rules
forms the passive voice with the
auxiliary verb " to be " and the
participle spent from the verb.
Subject structures + auxiliary verb
(" to be ") + past participle

4. Characteristics
It is said that a prayer is in PASSIVE VOICE when the
significance of the verb is got by the grammatical
person to whom that one refers: Buenos Aires was
founded by Pedro of Mendoza. (Buenos Aires was
founded by Pedro of Mendoza).
is formed with the auxiliary of the verb to be and the
participle spent from the verb
that conjugates.
The complement of the active prayer goes on to be
subject of the passive one. Since in Castilian, the
subject of the active one can remain as fastened agent.

5. When a verb has two complements
is can do two structures of passive:
a) To book was sent to Tom by Mr.
Smith, A book was sent to Tom by
Mr. Smith.
B) Tom was sent to book by Mr.
Smith (passive idiomatic). This
structure is not possible in Castilian.
