¿Qué es la voz pasiva?

La voz pasiva se usa para enfatizar un producto, o una obra, o una acción. Lo que nos importa es la acción en sí misma, y no tanto quién la realizó. E. g.

Voz activa: Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.

Voz pasiva: The Mona Lisa was painted by Da Vinci.

¿Cómo se forma la voz pasiva?

Hay tres condiciones importantes que se tienen que cumplir para que una oración esté en voz pasiva:

1. Siempre debe incluir el verbo be.

2. El verbo principal siempre debe estar en pasado participio.

3. Los verbos que se pueden usar en la voz pasiva son transitivos, es decir, son verbos que afectan a un objeto o a un sujeto.

My bike has been stolen by someone.
