frases, no qual o sujeito sofre a ao do verbo. Se dissermos:

Agatha Christie wrote this book. Voz ativa, pois o sujeito Agatha Christie quem
pratica a ao.
Se dissermos:
This book was written by Agatha Christie. Voz passiva, pois agora Agatha sofre a ao do verbo e no
pratica.

1.
2.
3.

5.

O objeto da voz ativa passa a ser o sujeito da voz passiva.

O sujeito da voz ativa passa a ser agente da passiva na voz passiva.
O verbo to be usado no mesmo tempo em que o verbo principal se encontra na voz ativa.
O verbo principal assume a forma do particpio passado.
Se o sujeito da ativa for particularizado, determinante, ele ser mantido como agente da passiva.

Exemplo: LESLIE WASHES THE DISHES EVERY DAY.

3. Wash, washed, usamos a sua forma de particpio passado, washed. 4. O sujeito Leslie particularizado e aparece como
agente da passiva ou substitudo por um pronome oblquo = her. Como agente da passiva, ser sempre precedido pela preposio
by.
