Q & A

What are the three main types of verb voices discussed in the lesson?

The three main types of verb voices discussed are active voice, passive voice, and reflexive voice.

What is the key characteristic of active voice?

In active voice, the subject of the sentence is the one performing the action. The subject is the 'doer' of the action.

Can you provide an example of a sentence in the active voice?

An example of active voice is: 'The teacher approved Tainara.' Here, 'the teacher' is the subject performing the action.

How is passive voice different from active voice?

In passive voice, the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action rather than the one performing it. The focus is on the action itself rather than who is performing it.

Can you give an example of a sentence in the passive voice?

An example of passive voice is: 'The bicycle was bought by Diogo.' Here, 'the bicycle' receives the action of being bought, making it the subject.

What are the two types of passive voice mentioned in the script?

The two types of passive voice are analytical passive voice (voz passiva analítica) and synthetic passive voice (voz passiva sintética).

What is the main difference between analytical passive voice and synthetic passive voice?

Analytical passive voice is formed with a compound verb construction (e.g., 'was bought'), while synthetic passive voice uses a third-person verb with a passive pronoun (e.g., 'bought itself').

How is reflexive voice defined in the script?

Reflexive voice occurs when the subject both performs and receives the action in the sentence. The subject is both the agent and the patient of the action.

Can you provide an example of a sentence in reflexive voice?

An example of reflexive voice is: 'The girl hurt herself with the scissors.' Here, 'the girl' performs and receives the action of hurting herself.

What is the difference between reflexive voice and reciprocal voice?

In reflexive voice, the subject performs and receives the action alone. In reciprocal voice, two or more subjects perform and receive the action mutually.

What is an example of reciprocal voice?

An example of reciprocal voice is: 'Melissa and Tatiane hugged each other.' Both Melissa and Tatiane perform and receive the action of hugging, making it a reciprocal action.

What is the role of the 'passive pronoun' in synthetic passive voice?

In synthetic passive voice, the passive pronoun 'se' is used with the verb to indicate that the subject is the recipient of the action, without directly mentioning the agent.
