Outro exemplo (frase no presente present tense)


I throw the ball. (eu atiro a bola)
I = subject (sujeito)
Throw = verb (verbo)
The ball = Object (complemento direto pois responde pergunta o qu. O que que foi atirado?
A bola.)
Neste caso, a voz passiva fica: The ball is thrown (verbo auxiliar no PRESENTE e verbo principal no PP)
by me.
Agora juntamos um complemento indireto.
I throw the ball to my sister. (atiro a bola minha irm.)
My sister = complemento indireto pois responde pergunta a quem. A quem que a bola foi atirada?
minha irm. Temos agora um sujeito (I), um verbo (throw), um complemento direto (the ball) e um indireto
(my sister).
Neste caso possvel transformar a frase para a passiva de acordo com as duas opes:
The ball is thrown to my sister by me.
Ou seja, complemento direto + verbo auxiliar no tempo correspondente + verbo principal no PP +
complemento indireto + agente da passiva
OU
My sister is thrown the ball by me.
Ou seja, complemento indireto + verbo auxiliar no tempo correspondente + verbo principal no PP +
sujeito

Passive: Is the ball thrown to my sister by me?
Agora com sujeito indefinido:

Passive: The ball is thrown to my sister.

Passive Voice , impersonal structure


Impersonal Passive

We place It as the subject.

We make the normal Passive in the first verb. The rest of the sentence doesn't change:

It is claimed that the Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world.
Personal Passive
We use the Second Subject as the Subject for our Passive Sentence.
We make the normal Passive in the first verb.
When the second verb is a Simple Present or a Simple Future, we add an infinitive + to:
The Mona Lisa is claimed to be the most famous painting in the world".

WHAT ABOUT THE PRESENT PREGRESSIVE?


They think she is writing a book
It is thought she is writing a book
She is thought to be writing a book
PRSENT PERFECT?
They think she has written a book
She is thought to have written a book
PAST
They think that you lived in London
Impersonal
Remember we use It as a subject and change the first verb into the Passive Voice.
The rest of the sentence doesn't change:
It's thought that you lived in London
Personal
As the second verb is a Past Tense, we change it into a Perfect Infinitive to have lived.
You are thought to have lived in London
WHAT ABOUT THE PAST PROGRESSIVE?
People think that the government was building new schools
Impersonal
It's thought that the government was building new schools
Personal
You know we use the second subject as the main one and change the first verb into the
Passive Voice. We change the Progressive Past into a Progressive Perfect Infinitive to
have been building
The government is thought to have been building new schools
WHAT ABOUT THE PAST PERFECT?
This tense follows the same pattern presented in the simple past because both started
in the past and finished or are not longer happening in the present
They think that you lived in London
They think that you had lived in London
Impersonal
It is thought that you had lived in London
Personal
You are thought to have lived in London
FUTURE

They believe that the factory will make profit soon


Impersonal
It's believed that the factory will make profit soon
Personal

We use the second subject and change the first verb into the Passive Voice

When the second verb in the Passive Structure is a Simple Present or a Simple Future,
we change it into a To Infinitive:

The factory is believed to make profit soon


WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE PERFECT?
They say that he will have delivered all the newspapers by 8 o'clock
impersonal
It is said that he will have delivered all
Personal
This tense follows the same pattern shown in the Present Perfect tense:
He is said to have delivered all the newspapers by 8 oclock
What makes different the Future Perfect from the Present Perfect is the time expression .
