Read the following statements and label each one as either True (T) or False (F).

(2) We should use the main verbs of structures in the Passive Voice in the past participle form.
(3) The Present Perfect Continuous form is commonly used in the Passive Voice to convey a more informal tone to the texts.
Choose the correct sequence
(1)F / (2)F / (3)F
 (1)T / (2)T / (3)F
(1)F / (2)T / (3)F
(1)T / (2)F / (3)F
(1)T / (2)T / (3)T
Respondido em 06/10/2023 21:41:35
Explicação:
Whenever we make use of sentences in the passive voice, the patient of the action becomes more prominent. Who or what undergoes the action carried out by the agent is focused in sentences
formed by passive structures. What¿s more, the passive voice is formed by the verb to be followed by the main verb in the past participle form. Therefore, (1) and (2) are correct. An informal tone is
perceptible by the use of contractions and not by the use of present perfect continuous, which invalidates statement (3).
