Passive Voice 
Name: Nuria Gil Rodríguez
Uses 
● Usamos la voz pasiva cuando no sabemos quien ha realizado la 
acción. 
Ejemplo: 
– A civilian has been killed. (Un civil ha sido asesinado.) 
– The car was stolen. (El coche fue robado.) 
● Usamos la voz pasiva cuando queremos dar más importancia a lo 
que pasó, que a quién realizó la acción o cuando no queremos 
decir quien la realizó. 
Ejemplo: 
– The letter was delivered yesterday. (La carta fue entregada ayer.) 
– A mistake was made. (Un error fue cometido.)
Form of the passive verb 
La voz pasiva en inglés sigue la estructura general: 
Sujeto + Verbo To be + Verbo en participio + Objeto.

que:
