In English, it\u2019s very common to use the passive voice in everyday speech, formal written work, and everything in between. Sin embargo,<\/strong> En espa\u00f1ol, utilizar la voz pasiva como traducci\u00f3n literal del ingl\u00e9s puede sonar entrecortado y poco natural.<\/strong> Incluso puede hacer que suenes m\u00e1s formal de lo que pretendes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you\u2019ve probably already learned, translating from English to Spanish doesn\u2019t always make sense or sound right. Even if something is grammatically correct doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s the best thing to say or write. One way to easily level up your Spanish to sound more natural is to pay attention to your use of the passive voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puede que hayas o\u00eddo los t\u00e9rminos voz activa <\/em>y voz pasiva<\/em>. La voz activa es la estructura oracional m\u00e1s com\u00fan, en la que el sujeto de la frase realiza la acci\u00f3n. Normalmente, la f\u00f3rmula es: [sujeto]+[verbo (realizado por el sujeto)]+[objeto opcional]. Por ejemplo: \"Mi perro le dio una patada al juguete\". El sujeto de la frase realiza la acci\u00f3n.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin embargo, la voz pasiva es lo contrario. El sujeto de la frase no realiza la acci\u00f3n. En cambio, la acci\u00f3n se le hace a \u00e9l, y el agente de la sentencia<\/a> puede omitirse. La f\u00f3rmula de la voz pasiva suele ser: [sujeto]+[alguna forma del verbo\u00a0ser<\/em>]+[past participle of a transitive verb]+[optional prepositional phrase]. For example, \u201cThe toy was kicked by the dog.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La voz pasiva no es habitual en ingl\u00e9s para trabajos no cient\u00edficos, y tampoco es muy com\u00fan en espa\u00f1ol. La voz pasiva tiende a ser m\u00e1s verbosa y no tan fuerte como la voz activa. Sin embargo, en espa\u00f1ol, la voz pasiva es incluso menos <\/em>com\u00fan que en ingl\u00e9s. That\u2019s because Spanish actually has two different ways to translate the English passive voice<\/strong>\u2013 the exact translation of the passive voice and the passive \u201cse\u201d, also called pasiva refleja. <\/em>Por eso, intentar utilizar la voz pasiva en espa\u00f1ol es una pr\u00e1ctica com\u00fan. error para angloparlantes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passive \u201cse\u201d is far more common in daily speech. In Spanish, the passive voice is also reserved for more formal or scientific settings. However, if you want to emphasize the action instead of the subject, in Spanish, you can use the passive \u201cse\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use the passive \u201cse\u201d, you conjugate the verb as if it were reflexive. <\/strong>Depending on the subject, you\u2019ll conjugate the verb in the 3rd person singular or plural. For example, here\u2019s how a sentence can be formed in the active, passive and passive \u201cse\u201d forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El hombre vende<\/strong> el peri\u00f3dico aqu\u00ed. (active)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
