Este módulo explica la Voz Pasiva cuando se conoce al agente, usando 'was/were + directed by' para acciones pasadas.
| Task | "The film ""Casino"" __________ (to direct) by Martin Scorsese in 1995." |
|---|---|
| Answer | 3 |
| a | has been directed |
| b | directed |
| c | was directed |
| d | had been directed |
| comment | Sometimes we need to change a sentence from the Active Voice into the Passive Voice. We can also know a person who carries out the action. In this case we use the Passive Voice and form a sentence according to this rule: Subject - Be+ Past Participle - Preposition 'BY' - Agent (who or what carries out the action). Here we use the Past Simple Passive because we have a certain time in the past: 1995. |
