Passer de la voix active à la voix passive au présent continu
Les phrases en anglais sont écrites à la voix active ou à la voix passive. Dans cet article, nous apprenons à écrire des phrases au présent continu à la voix active et passive, et à transformer la voix active en voix passive.
Le présent continu, également connu sous le nom de présent progressif, parle des actions que quelqu’un fait au présent.
Active and passive voice of the Present Continuous tense
Active voice: Subject (doer) + is/am/are + V1+ing + object
Passive voice: The object (receiver of the action) + is/am/are + being + V3 + (by the doer)
Active: She is taking a class.
(she = doer of the action, is = helping verb = taking = main verb, a class = receiver of the action)
Passive: A class is being taken by her.
(a class = the new subject, is being = helping verb = taking = main verb)
Dans la voix active du Présent Continu, nous nous concentrons sur la personne qui effectue actuellement une action dans le présent.
Dans la voix passive du présent continu, nous nous concentrons sur l’objet (le récepteur de l’action) qui reçoit l’action au présent. Le temps du verbe est formé en utilisant“is/am/are + being + V3“.
Examples:
- Active voice: Ashish is teaching English at this university.
- Passive voice: English is being taught by Ashish at this university.
- Active voice: They are making a movie about me.
- Passive voice: A movie about me is being made (by them).
- Active voice: A robot is serving food in this hotel.
- Passive voice: Food is being served by a robot in this hotel.
- Active voice: They are taking interviews for different posts.
- Passive voice: Interviews are being taken for different posts (by them).
- Active voice: The police are interrogating him right now.
- Passive voice: He is being interrogated (by the police right now).
- Active voice: Everybody is watching the final match.
- Passive voice: The final match is being watched by everyone.
- Active voice: Who is helping you in your project?
- Passive voice: Who are you being helped by in this project?
- Active voice: Ron is not training the kids.
- Passive voice: The kids are not being trained (by Ron).
- Active voice: Are they playing cricket right now?
- Passive voice: Is cricket being played by them right now?
- Active voice: Why is he not helping us?
- Passive voice: Why are we not being helped by him?
NOTA: el verbo auxiliar (is/am/are) puede ser diferente en la voz activa y pasiva de una oración. La voz activa (verbo) sigue al que realiza la acción, y la voz pasiva (verbo) sigue al receptor de la acción.
À la voix passive, l’auteur de l’action n’est généralement pas mentionné puisque l’accent est mis sur le destinataire de l’action. Cela se produit lorsque le sujet est moins important, compris ou qu’il n’est pas nécessaire de le mentionner.
Examples:
- Son interview est prise.
- Le dernier match se joue au stade Wankhede.
- La vidéo suivante est en cours d’enregistrement.
- Les élèves sont punis pour avoir trompé l’enseignant de la classe.
- Certaines personnes sont arrêtées sur la route.
Notez que dans les exemples ci-dessus, nous n’avons pas ajouté l’auteur de l’action, car ce n’est pas ce sur quoi nous nous concentrons.
