Mudar de voz ativa para voz passiva no presente contínuo
As frases em inglês são escritas na voz ativa ou na voz passiva. Neste post, aprendemos a escrever frases de tempo contínuo presente na voz ativa e passiva, e como mudar a voz ativa para a voz passiva.
O presente contínuo, também conhecido como presente progressivo, fala sobre as ações que alguém está fazendo no 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)
Na voz ativa do Present Continuous, focamos na pessoa que está realizando uma ação no presente.
Na voz passiva do presente contínuo, focamos no objeto (o receptor da ação) que está recebendo a ação no presente. O tempo verbal é formado 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.

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.
Na voz passiva, o executor da ação geralmente não é mencionado, pois o foco está no destinatário da ação. Ocorre quando o tópico é menos importante, compreendido ou desnecessário mencionar.
Examples:
- A entrevista dele está sendo feita.
- A partida final está sendo disputada no Estádio Wankhede.
- O próximo vídeo está sendo gravado.
- Os alunos estão sendo punidos por enganar o professor da turma.
- Algumas pessoas estão sendo presas na estrada.
Observe que, nos exemplos acima, não adicionamos o autor da ação, pois não é nisso que estamos focando.
