TIPOS DE PASIVA:
3. La pasiva impersonal:
3.1. IT IS SAID THAT:
Activa: Sujeto + Verbo activo + frase subordinada People say that the bridge isnt safe
Pasiva: Sujeto + verbo pasivo (It is said that)+ frase subordinada. It is said (that) the
Pasiva: Sujeto de la oracin subordinada + Verbo pasivo + frase subordinada empezada con
to / not to +infinitivo The bridge is said not to be safe
Como despus del infinitivo debe ir OBLIGATORIAMENTE un infinitivo, si queremos que este
infinitivo haga referencia a un tiempo pasado debemos ponerlo en forma PERFECTA
It is said that Paul Newman was a great actor
Ojo, en ambos tipos de pasiva impersonal puede aparecer otro verbo distinto de said, como por
ejemplo: alleged, believed, estimated, guessed, known, reported, supposed, rumoured,
understood
It is thought that the thief was in the bank / The thief is supposed to have been in the bank
Pasiva usada para indicar que alguien RECIBE una accin, es decir, NO LA HACE DIRECTAMENTE.
En espaol decimos mucho que nos hemos cortado el pelo. En esos casos, lo normal no es que nos
cortemos el pelo directamente, sino que vayamos al peluquero. El causativo se usa para estos casos.
Estructura: TO HAVE / GET SOMETHING DONE,
TO HAVE / GET: Se conjuga en el tiempo verbal de la O. Activa (I had / Im having / I got )
SOMETHING: Se refiere al objeto que te estn alterando (the house, the hair, the car)
DONE: El verbo (la accin que te hacen) en participio (cut, repaired, cleaned, painted)
Ejemplo: I had / got my hair cut (me cortaron el pelo). Im having / Im getting my car repaired
(me estn arreglando el coche)
The house needs painting = the house needs to be painted (la casa necesita pintarse)

Los modales son verbos que necesitan de otro verbo ms para tener significado.
Ejemplo: Yo debo ingls. NO tiene sentido. La frase sera correcta as: Yo debo estudiar ingls
Reglas:

Siempre les sigue un infinitivo sin to (I can to play tennis)
2. La negacin se hace aadiendo not al modal (cant, couldnt, mustnt)
3. La interrogacin se hace poniendo (partcula wh- + ) modal + sujeto + verbo + (When could you come?)
