LA PASIVA IMPERSONAL

Suele tener la siguiente estructura

It + is known/said/believed/thought (passive reporting verb) + that -clause

Subject + passive reporting verb + to infinitive

Ejemplo:


  • Everyone thinks he left jail. Oración activa


It is thought that he left jail.

  • I had my house painted last summer.

VERBOS DE DOBLE COMPLEMENTO

Estos verbos tienen complemento directo e indirecto. En inglés es más habitual escoger el CI para convertirlo en el sujeto de la oración pasiva. Es decir, en una oración como

                             I sent Penélope the invitation

lo normal será...

Penélope was sent the invitation

Aunque también se podrá aceptar la estructura habitual. Ojo, porque en ese caso habrá que añadir la preposición TO al complemento indirecto.

The invitation was sent to Penélope

¿Cuáles son los más habituales?

Bring, buy, give, offer, owe, pay, send, show, teach, tell o write.

LA VOZ PASIVA

¿Cómo transformar una oración de activa a pasiva?

En este tipo de oraciones tenemos que mover ciertos elementos de su sitio. En la siguiente oración


Cervantes wrote Don Quixote


Don Quixote, complemento directo de la oración activa, se convierte en el sujeto de la pasiva, y Cervantes, en complemento agente. Por lo que quedará de la siguiente forma:

  • Don Quixote was written by Cervantes.
¿Cuándo sé que no tengo que poner el Complemento Agente?

El complemento agente siempre es el sujeto activo y el que realiza la acción del verbo. En inglés es muy corriente omitirlo, sobre todo en los siguientes casos:

  1. Cuando desconocemos quién es la persona, es decir, cuando aparece un pronombre personal, o las formas someone, everybody, people.
  2. Cuando se entiende quién realiza la acción. En la oración The post is delivered every day no hace falta que pongamos by the postman.
Ojo: el uso del Complemento Agente en el inglés real siempre viene dado por la importancia que el hablante o el escritor le quiera dar.

En la oración English is spoken by everybody no hemos omitido el agente porque queremos resaltar el hecho de que todo el mundo habla ese idioma.
