Voz passiva ou passive voice é um tópico gramatical de costuma
assustar os estudantes brasileiros. No entanto, há 4 dicas básicas e 1
tabela que vão facilitar a sua vida e acabar com esse “dilema”:
A primeira dica é “você sempre vai precisar inserir o verbo to be em todas as frases na voz passiva”;
A segunda dica é “você sempre precisará manter o verbo principal (o verbo da frase na voz ativa) no
past participle“,
localizado na terceira coluna da famosa tabelinha de verbos
irregulares. Exemplo: na frase “I read a book”, o verbo da frase na voz
ativa é “read”, então ele vai para o
past participle;
A terceira dica é “sempre manter o tempo verbal da frase”. A frase
acima “I read a book”, está no presente, por isso, esta frase na voz
passiva terá o verbo to be no presente;
E a quarta, “começar a frase pelo objeto do verbo”, ou seja, a
informação que o verbo dá.
Vamos então a um exemplo prático. Veja a frase:

Active: |
Rita |
