1. Diateza pasiva (passive voice) -prezentare -

2. formare Fiecare timp are o schema de formare la diateza activa (vezi schemele de la timpurile verbale) si o schema de formare la diateza pasiva , ce vor fi prezentate mai jos. In diateza activa subiectul este cel care face actiunea .(ex.:Mama uda florile). In diateza pasiva actiunea se rasfrange asupra subiectului .(ex. Florile sunt udate de mama).

3. observatii La absolut toate timpurile verbul este la forma a treia (cel neregulat) sau cu terminatia “-ed” (cel regulat). Ce se schimba pentru fiecare timp este ceea ce exista intre subiect si verb. In limba romana exista cel putin 2 modalitati de a exprima o actiune la diateza pasiva (se va ilustra la exemple). In limba engleza se respecta doar schema timpului respectiv. Simboluri: Verb forma a treia sau cu terminatia “ -ed”=> V(III)/ V(-ed)
