NI (B1) Passive voice

Dear students and readers of this blog,

Still in our Intermediate level class, we have been studying the passive voice.

The passive voice is a grammatical construction (a "voice") in which the subject of a sentence or clause denotes the recipient of the action (the patient) rather than the performer (the agent). So with it, we put the emphasis on the action itself, and not on the person or thing that did it. Remember i is much more frequently used in English than in Spanish!

Here you will find some help:

Active voice/passive voice from Englishclub.com





Allow me to recommend you the videos below. It is a simple, but clear and helpful way of explaining the passive voice. Enjoy!
