Cambia da voce attiva a voce passiva al presente continuo
Le frasi in inglese sono scritte con la voce attiva o con la voce passiva. In questo post, impariamo come scrivere frasi al presente continuo nella voce attiva e passiva e come cambiare la voce attiva nella voce passiva.
Il presente continuo, noto anche come presente progressivo, parla delle azioni che qualcuno sta facendo nel presente.
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)
Nella voce attiva del Present Continuous, ci concentriamo sulla persona che sta attualmente compiendo un’azione nel presente.
Nella voce passiva del presente continuo, ci concentriamo sull’oggetto (il destinatario dell’azione) che sta ricevendo l’azione nel presente. Il tempo verbale è formato usando“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.
Nella voce passiva, l’autore dell’azione di solito non viene menzionato poiché il focus è sul destinatario dell’azione. Si verifica quando l’argomento è meno importante, compreso o non necessario da menzionare.
Examples:
- La sua intervista è in corso.
- La finale si gioca al Wankhede Stadium.
- È in corso la registrazione del prossimo video.
- Gli studenti vengono puniti per aver ingannato l’insegnante di classe.
- Alcune persone vengono arrestate lungo la strada.
Nota che negli esempi precedenti non abbiamo aggiunto l’autore dell’azione, poiché non è quello su cui ci stiamo concentrando.
