English:  First, watch the video about the passive voice. Then, do exercise 1 of the downloaded file.

The passive voice is very difficult and it is important for next year. Watch it as many times as you want. Está vez solo mira hasta el minuto 2:40, porque solo lo vamos a utilizar en presente por el momento.

The video explains it very well in both English and Spanish. But I want to give you some extra information about the passive voice.

It is used a lot in newspaper and magazine titles/headings, because the important thing is the action and not the person who did it. En voz pasiva lo importante es la acción y no la persona que lo hizo. For example:

The thief was arrested.

Todo el mundo sabe que fue la policía quien arrestó al ladrón. Por eso no hace falta escribir la policía.

Another example:

Active: Ronald makes an English exam. Es activa porque sabemos que lo hace Ronald.

Passive: An English exam is made. Es pasiva porque lo importante es la acción del examen de inglés y no la persona que lo hizo. Vosotros sabéis que es lógico que lo hace Ronald.

You can also write in passive:  An English exam is made by Ronald.

by Ronald is the agent  o por Ronald es el agente.

Remember:

First, change the object of the active sentence into the subject of the passive sentence.  (para encontrar el objeto pregunta al verbo y al sujeto de la frase activa, QUE O QUIEN es decir ¿Que hace Ronald? Respuesta un examen de inglés.)

Second, use the verb to be + past participle to make the sentence passive.

An English exam is made (3rd person singular).       Ojo        English exams are made(plural).

In the beginning it will be difficult, but the more you practise the more you will understand it.
