Exercise 19:
Passive Voice
Diferentemente da voz ativa, em que a ênfase está em quem praticou a ação, ou seja, no sujeito, a
voz passiva se preocupa em enfatizar o objeto, ou seja, aquele que sofre a ação expressa pelo verbo.
Um exemplo de voz ativa seria: - The men built that house. (Os homens construíram aquela casa).
Já ao se passar para a voz passiva, o primeiro passo é inverter o objeto, colocando-o no início da
frase. - That house was built by the men. (Aquela casa foi construída pelos homens).
Nota-se que, além da inversão do objeto, houve também uma mudança quanto ao tempo verbal da
frase. Na voz ativa, o verbo estava no passado simples, e na voz passiva foi acrescentado o passado
do verbo “to be” mais o particípio do verbo. Além disso, houve também o acréscimo de by logo após
a locução verbal. Nem todas as frases seguirão o mesmo modelo acima. É preciso, portanto, estar
atento ao tempo verbal da frase na voz ativa, para saber em que tempo verbal ela deverá vir na voz
passiva.
