Concetti Chiave

Il passivo trasforma l'oggetto dell'azione nel soggetto della frase.
La formazione del passivo richiede un ausiliare e il verbo nella forma base con "ed" o la terza colonna dei verbi.
Le forme verbali in inglese si declinano in attivo e passivo, ognuna con la propria struttura.
La voce passiva viene utilizzata per enfatizzare l'azione piuttosto che chi la compie.
Ogni tempo verbale ha la sua corrispondente forma attiva e passiva, con distinzioni nel costrutto.
