2. Active or Passive voice?
Existen dos formas verbales especiales:
Voz Activa y Voz Pasiva.
La voz activa es la forma normal con la cual
creamos una oración. La persona que realiza la
acción es importante o conocida.
Eg. Someone broke my window yesterday.
Alguien quebró mi ventana ayer.

3. Active or Passive voice?
La voz pasiva se usa cuando la persona o cosa
que realiza la acción no es importante o es
desconocida:

(La persona que la quebró es desconocida)

4. Active or Passive voice?
La voz pasiva también se usa para enfatizar el
objeto en quien recae la acción del verbo. Para

To Be + Past participle verb
2. El objeto de la voz activa pasa a ser el nuevo
sujeto en la voz pasiva.
