Presentation to understand the use of Passive Voice in the past, present and future, plus activities.

2. It is a structure that serves to
highlight the subject that
performs the action. In other
words, the person or object
becomes the protagonist of the
sentence and the one who
performs the action.

3. In an active voice sentence, a subject
does an action that affects an object:
• The boy watches the stars
• My mon waters the flowers.

7. • English is spoken everywhere.
⚬ (active: They speak English everywhere.)
• Presents are given at Christmas.
⚬ (active: People give presents at Christmas.)
• My room is cleaned every Saturday.
⚬ (active: I clean my room every Saturday.)

8. • When we are NOT interested
in who did a certain action
• When we do NOT know the
person who performed the
action
• We use the passive, when we
are interested in WHAT
happened or happens to
people or objects.
