This document discusses the simple passive voice in English. It provides examples of changing active sentences to passive, noting that the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. It also lists irregular past participles of common verbs. Non-defining clauses using who, whose, which and where are explained as replacements for objects or people. Exercises are provided to practice these grammar points along with answers.

1. INGLÉS Passive simple Non-definingclauses Reading and writting

2. Passive simple Generalmente, cuando creamos oraciones comenzamos con el sujeto y luego con el objeto. Sin embargo, otra manera de decirlo es el passive simple, en que mencionamos primero el objeto, luego la acción y finalmente la persona Ejemplo: My motherdrewa horseyesterday (Mi madre dibujó un caballo ayer) En passive simple sería A horsewasdrawnby my motheryesterday (Un caballo fue dibujado por mi madre ayer) Si nos fijamos, es diferente del pasado simple, porque no ocupamos los verbos en pasado como drew, ate, playedsi no que pasan al participle, como drawn. eaten, grew,etc. Los participle son algo así como los verbos que terminan en “ado” o “ido” en español (vencido, comido, nadado, etc)

3. Los verbos en pasado y participle Al escribir en passive simple usaremos el past o pasado participle. (Desgraciadamente) estos verbos no tienen nada que indiquen cuando son regulares (terminan en ed-, d o –ied) o irregulares (son diferentes que el presente, como go y gone, su participle) Ejemplo: play : pasado: played; participle: played regular do: pasado: did ; participle: done - irregular Los verbos irregulares mas comunes son:

8. EJERCICIOS 3. Read and answerthequestions. Elvis isnotdead I saw him a few weeks ago on the market and he told me he was kidnapped by some aliens, who took him to their planet. But they did some weird stuff with his brain (but I couldn't understand what) and now he forgot most of it. But he managed to escape and now he's back on earth! The problem was that nobody recognized him (he looked like a tramp and smelled a bit) and that he had no money. That's why he asked me to take a shower at my home (Elvis Presley took a shower at my place! What an honour!) and to give him some money to buy an airplane ticket to return to the States. BTW did you know that a ticket from Belgium to New York is worth 2000$ ? That's a lot of money, but he assured me that he would repay me back including a "small" reward (he wasn't very clear about this, but I understood 10% of all his money) and he would let me stay at his place. And then he went away with the money, and from then on he didn't contact me. But my waiting won't be long, as he said he would send the money quick.
