Let's see if I get this right. These are three different kinds of sentences they always teach you after explaining the passive voice because they are in some ways similar.
A ver si me aclaro con esto. Estas son tres clases de oraciones que siempre te explican despues de explicarte la voz pasiva por lo que tienen de parecido con ella.
I - La pasiva "de lo que se dice:" Se consideran pasivas estas dos formas:
A) It …..is…..verbo en participio…..that…..oración entera.
El verbo en participio suele ser: said, known, believed, rumored, reported, thought u otros parecidos.
It…..is…..said…..that…..Madonna is a better businesswoman than singer.
It…..is…..thought…..that …..Paris is the city of love.
It …..is….. believed….that …..spinach makes children strong.
Traducimos una para que veas como suena en español:
Se dice que Madonna es mejor mujer de negocios que cantante.
Practice:
1. English people believe that black cats are lucky.
2. There is a rumor that Jane has left her husband.
3. People say that money begets money.
4. People think Peter’s film is too long.
5. They say the police found the stolen money.
B) Sujeto…..be…..verbo en participio…..to…..verbo en infiitivo…..resto.
El verbo en participio suele ser uno de los citados arriba bajo la formula A.
Madonna…….is…....said……to……be……....a clever businesswoman.
Paris………..is……..thought...to…...be……....the city of love.
His music…..is…reported…....to…...sound…...terrible.
Traducimos una literalmente para que veas que no se puede decir asi en español: Paris es pensada ser la ciudad del amor.
Practice:
1. They say that money begets money.
2. In Thailand they think white elephants are a good omen.
3. The press reported the mayor to be missing.
4. They say Mrs. Jones has taken the money.
5. It is known that Pat bullies his classmates.
II - La pasiva "de lo que conseguiste que hiciese otro:"
Tiene dos partes:
1ª mitad: Sujeto..have o get en el tiempo que sea…
2ª mitad: sujeto pasivo...participio…resto.
Susan…had/got...her hair…cut…today.
We…are having/ are getting…the car…fixed…here.
She…had had / had got…the beds…made…for us.
Traducimos una por si no entiendes la estructura:
Literal: Susan hizo /consiguió que la cortasen el pelo hoy.
Practice:
1. They are curling Sylvie's hair right now.
2. They have removed Jack's tattoo.
3. A plastic surgeon has enlarged Pandora's breasts.
4. Someone is going to clean our garage.
5. They had repaired Tom's bike the day before.
