WHAT IS PASSIVE VOICE?

Imagen
Passive voice is a grammatical structure refered to sentences in wich the "recipient of an action" (often called as indirect object) becomes the subject of the sentence, and the "doer of the action" is demoted to secondary importance or omitted altogether. In other words, the passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an action , rather than the person or object that performs the action. WHEN CAN WE USE PASSIVE VOICE? 1) When we don't know  or we  don't want to express who performed the action 2)  When we need to use formal language 3) When we want to place emphasis on the receiver of an action EXAMPLES PASSIVE VS ACTIVE VOICE FORMING THE PASSIVE VOICE MORE INFORMATION
