Student´s name: Learning unit: 2. Expression of ideas about past present and future events Learning outcome: 2.2 Describe actions or activities related to work occupation using the reported speech andpassive voice Activity number 22: Use the passive voice We use the passive voice when we want to give more importance to the object of the action than to the agent of the action, or when we do not know or prefer not to mention said agent. In English, especially in scientific language, passive voice is used more frequently than Spanish. Examples of passive sentences are: The classification is founded on climatic phenomena The Quaternary was marked by a striking development of glaciers The phenomenon has been studied These are separated by phases of returning warmith The time scale has heen established by a study of climatic conditions It has not been absolutely proved Efforts have been made What is the passive voice? To understand this concept, you must first know what the active voice is. The active voice is the way we usually speak. We always say that someone (a person) performs (or does not perform) an action. For example: Present: Technician repairs installation. Past: The technician repaired the installation In this example we say that the technician performs (or performed) the action of repairing the installation. Therefore, the active voice refers to those phrases in which we express that a person (the subject) performs an action. However, there are times when we do not want to emphasize that a person is the one doing the action. In this case, we make the object (things or people on whom the action falls) take center stage in the action. In the example we have seen, we would say: Present: the installation is repaired the installation is repaired Past: the installation was repaired the installation was repaired Therefore, in the passive voice we use the object of the sentence as a subject. Then you may want to mention who repaired the installation In this case we would say: The installation was repaired by the technician But it sounds weird in Spanish, doesn't it? That is because the passive form is not as used as in English.
Structure Object (makes Subject) + verb "to be" conjugated + past participle + complement. For example: This house was built in 1980. This house was built in 1980. But how do we transform an active phrase into a passive phrase?
Student´s name: Learning unit: 2. Expression of ideas about past present and future events Learning outcome: 2.3 Express predictions and plans in different work situations using "will" and "going to" Activity number 25: Planning for the future Talk about personal and work plans Use of going to To talk about something you have planned and will do in the immediate future, you must use the expression "going to". The work plan allows to establish what are the objectives to be achieved in a certain period of time, the problems that can be presented and the methodology to be used to face them, defining aspects such as the available budget, the assigned human resources or the planned chronology for their develpment. It serves to plan how to execute initiatives or projects, establish the tasks in which the staff is immersed and guide the work of the personnel involved in its execution To prepare a work plan, in addition to breaking down the budget and detailing the functions and deadlines for implementation, the following must be specified:
