Passiva no passado: perguntas
450 exercícios de lacuna, 45 testes de dez
Ponha was ou were na frente do sujeito. O particípio passado fica onde está.
O particípio passado é a terceira forma das tabelas de verbos: written, gone, built. Ele nunca muda com o sujeito.
Treine esta forma
Carregando…
Sua primeira pergunta está vindo.
O padrão
Troque o auxiliar e o sujeito de lugar:
The letters were sent. → Were the letters sent?
As respostas curtas usam was ou were
Was the report finished? — Yes, it was. / No, it wasn’t.
Perguntas com palavra interrogativa
A palavra interrogativa vem primeiro, depois a troca:
- When was the church restored?
- Where were the photographs taken?
- Why was the meeting canceled?
Perguntando por quem foi feito
A preposição fica no fim no inglês comum:
Who was the letter signed by?
A versão com a preposição na frente, By whom was the letter signed?, é correta mas pertence à escrita formal.
Quando who é o sujeito de uma passiva
Se você pergunta quem recebeu a ação, e não quem a praticou, who ocupa a posição de sujeito e nada troca de lugar:
Who was arrested? — perguntando pela pessoa com quem a ação aconteceu.
Todas as formas
| Tipo | Pergunta | Resposta |
|---|---|---|
| sim/não, singular | Was the bridge built in 1894? | Yes, it was. |
| sim/não, plural | Were the trees planted last spring? | Yes, they were. |
| com palavra interrogativa | When was the first bridge built? | In 1894. |
| por quem | Who was it written by? | By a student. |
