Gabriel García Marquez wrote “ One Hundred Years of Solitude ”

“ One Hundred Years of Solitude ” was written by Gabriel García Marquez

We sue it to talk about processes, news and historical events. We use the Passive Voice when we are more interested in the ACTION than in “ who ” or “ what ” did the action. The agent can be: *** Unimportant** – “These shoes are made in Indonesia.” (the action is more important than who made the shoes) *** Unknown** – “The windows were broken yesterday.” (somebody broke the windows and we don’t know who did it) *** Implicit** – “He was arrested.” (Most certainly by the police)

EXAMPLES :

1. ACTIVE : Austria and part of Switzerland speak German PASSIVE : German is spoken in Germany, Austria, and part of Switzerland 2. ACTIVE : Millions of people watched the Royal wedding in 2011 PASSIVE : The royal wedding was watched by millions of people in 2011 3. ACTIVE : Korea makes a lot of computers nowadays PASSIVE : A lot of computers are made in Korea nowadays

Basic steps to form the Passive Voice

The object of the active becomes the subject of the Passive.

We add the auxiliary “ to be ” – “ is/are ” when the main verb of the active is

present, and “ was/were ” when it is past.

In negative or interrogative sentences the auxiliary “to do” is replaced by “to be”:

do(n’t) / does(n’t) become is(n’t) / are(n’t);

did(n’t) becomes was(n’t) or were(n’t).

We turn the main verb of the active into the past participle.

If we need or want to add the agent of the passive, we must use “by”.
