Read the following text: "Mea culpa": 
Johnny was born in a wealthy family who lived in a remote location, in the surroundings of the 
village. One day, when he came back home after school at five, he noticed that someone had left the 
gate of the property open and that a few things were missing, mainly his brand new bike. "Who, for 
God's sake, has left the gate open again?" 
He yelled. How astonished he got when a sudden voice riposted from the inside: "Who, for God's 
sake, left this morning, and took the keys again with?" 
The boy immediately checked his pockets. There they were the keys of the padlock.

We normally use the passive voice in the kind of texts that are called "formal texts". Only 
transitive verbs may be subject to the passive voice. This is why some structures may present an odd 
outcome. Consider the sentences given below and analyze the relationship between them: 
I- "I'm not fitted by my new pair of sandals" Is thus an impossible passive voice structure. 
BECAUSE 
II- Intransitive verbs are not able to form passive voice, for the reason that, as they do not have an 
object, they may not form the subject of the sentence. 
Check the right answer:
A I is a true sentence, and II is a false sentence.
B I is a false sentence, and II is a true sentence.
C I is a true sentence, and II is a true sentence. II completes I.
D I is a true sentence, and II is a true sentence. I completes II.
Using the passive voice in the English language is not that much different from passive voice in 
the Portuguese language. Read the following excerpt of a poem by Longfellow, "The rainy day": 
"The rain is cold, and dark, and dreary, 
It rains, and the wind is never weary. 
The wine still clings to the mouldering wall 
But at every gust, the dead leaves fall, 
And the day is dark and dreary." 
Thinking about passive voice, consider the following statements. Check the RIGHT answer:

B The wine still clings to the mouldering wall, is a sentence in the passive voice.
C In the passive voice, this sentence would be correct: Every gust of wind makes fall dead leaves.

The use of "not" in English varies slightly if compared to the Portuguese "não. One difference is 
its position in the sentence, after the verb in English, before the verb in Portuguese: I am not tired x 
Eu não estou cansado. Besides, in English the corresponding "no" also exists, and may bring some 
difficulty to the sentences. Among the sentences given below, only one gives a correct place for "not" 
and/or "no". 
Check the right sentence:
A When the husband arrived home, his wife not there yet.
B I bring not any money with me now, but will have some to pay you back tomorrow.
C All you have to do is push the button. Do no knock on the door, please.
D The kids had no answer for what they had just done.

subject of a lot of conversations and written texts".

D The day is dark and dreary, está na voz ativa.
As vozes verbais são utilizadas em diálogos do cotidiano, textos formais e informais, além de 
conteúdo para exames e provas. Damos o nome de voz à forma que o verbo assume em uma frase 
para indicar se o sujeito é agente ou paciente da frase, ou seja, se queremos dar mais ênfase em quem 
está realizando a ação ou quem está sofrendo a ação. Em inglês, chamamos a voz ativa de active 
voice e a voz passiva de passive voice. Sobre a transformação de uma sentença na voz ativa para a 
voz passiva, analise as sentenças a seguir: 
I- Add a form of the "auxiliary verb be" to the main verb and change the main verb's form. 
II- Move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject slot. 
III- Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition "by".
IV- Move the passive sentence's verb into the active sentence's direct object slot. 
Assinale a alternativa CORRETA:
A Somente a sentença I está correta.
B As sentenças II e IV estão corretas.
C Somente a sentença IV está correta.
D As sentenças I, II e III estão corretas.
