Hello, everyone.

Hello, sa lahat.

Welcome back to Shaw English.

Maligayang pagdating sa Shaw English.

My name is Mike.

Mike ang pangalan ko.

And today, I’m going to continue teaching you about the active and passive voice and

At ngayon, ipagpapatuloy ko ang pagtuturo sa iyo tungkol sa aktibo at passive na boses at

when and how to use it.

kung kailan at paano ito gamitin.

Now, I know this can be quite challenging,

Ngayon, alam kong medyo mapanghamon ito,

but I know you're also doing your best and you're doing a good job.

ngunit alam kong ginagawa mo rin ang iyong makakaya at ginagawa mo ang isang mahusay na trabaho.

Make sure you stay until the end of the video because you will have homework and a quiz.

Tiyaking manatili ka hanggang sa katapusan ng video dahil magkakaroon ka ng takdang-aralin at pagsusulit.

Are you ready to get started?

Handa ka na bang magsimula?

All right, let's do it.

Sige, gawin na natin.

One of the main reasons why we use passive voice is because we want to emphasize

Isa sa mga pangunahing dahilan kung bakit gumagamit tayo ng passive voice ay dahil gusto nating bigyang-diin

the receiver instead of the doer.

ang receiver sa halip na ang gumagawa.

For example, “Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.”

Halimbawa, "Ipininta ni Leonardo Da Vinci ang Mona Lisa."

In this sentence, which is an active voice,

Sa pangungusap na ito, na isang aktibong boses,

Leonardo is our focus, the painter.

si Leonardo ang ating pokus, ang pintor.

The Mona Lisa, the painting, is the receiver.

Ang Mona Lisa, ang pagpipinta, ay ang tatanggap.

We want to switch them to where now the receiver is in the beginning sentence and the doer is at the end.

Gusto naming ilipat ang mga ito sa kung saan ngayon ang receiver ay nasa simulang pangungusap at ang gumagawa ay nasa dulo.

So now our sentence is, “The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo DaVinci.”

Kaya ngayon ang aming pangungusap ay, "Ang Mona Lisa ay ipininta ni Leonardo DaVinci."

Our focus is now on the receiver, the Mona Lisa, rather than the painter, Leonardo DaVinci.

Ang aming focus ay ngayon sa receiver, ang Mona Lisa, sa halip na ang pintor, Leonardo DaVinci.

Another reason that we change the sentence to the passive voice, is because we do not

Ang isa pang dahilan kung bakit binago natin ang pangungusap sa tinig na tinig, ay dahil hindi natin

know the doer of the action.

alam ang gumagawa ng aksyon.

For example, “Somebody stole my cell phone.”

Halimbawa, "May nagnakaw ng aking cell phone."

I do not know who.

Hindi ko alam kung sino.

So instead, I can express this in the passive voice.

Kaya sa halip, maaari kong ipahayag ito sa tinig na tinig.

“My cell phone was stolen.”

"Ninakaw ang cellphone ko."

And again, since we don't really know who did it,

At muli, dahil hindi namin talaga alam kung sino ang gumawa nito, mas

we want to focus more on the phone instead.

gusto naming mag-focus sa telepono sa halip.

“My phone was stolen.”

"Ninakaw ang phone ko."

Another reason to use the passive voice could be the doer is just not that important.

Ang isa pang dahilan upang gamitin ang tinig na tinig ay maaaring ang gumagawa ay hindi ganoon kahalaga.

For example, “The company was founded in 1955.”

Halimbawa, "Ang kumpanya ay itinatag noong 1955."

We may or may not know who founded the company, but is not important.

Maaaring alam natin o hindi kung sino ang nagtatag ng kumpanya, ngunit hindi ito mahalaga.

What is important is that the company was founded in 1955.

Ang mahalaga ay itinatag ang kumpanya noong 1955.

Also, “The house was built in 1955.”

Gayundin, "Ang bahay ay itinayo noong 1955."

We may or may not know who built the house.

Maaaring alam natin o hindi kung sino ang nagtayo ng bahay.

But again, it's not important.

Ngunit muli, hindi ito mahalaga.

What is important is the house was built in 1955.

Ang mahalaga ay naitayo ang bahay noong 1955.

Another reason to use the passive voice is because

Isa pang dahilan ng paggamit ng passive voice ay dahil

sometimes we don't want to blame or say someone is responsible for something.

minsan ay ayaw nating sisihin o sabihin na may pananagutan sa isang bagay.

For example, “Mistakes were made.”

Halimbawa, "Nakagawa ng mga pagkakamali."

Now, mistakes were made by someone,

Ngayon, may mga pagkakamaling nagawa,

but we don't want to blame that person.

ngunit ayaw naming sisihin ang taong iyon.

We don't want to say it is their fault. So instead,

Ayaw naming sabihin na kasalanan nila. Kaya sa halip,

we just leave them off and say,

hinahayaan na lang namin sila at sabihing,

“Mistakes were made.”

"May mga pagkakamali."

Another reason to use the passive voice is because

Ang isa pang dahilan upang gamitin ang tinig na tinig ay dahil

the doer is not a specific person.

ang gumagawa ay hindi isang tiyak na tao.

For example, “English is spoken in many countries around the world.”

Halimbawa, "Ang Ingles ay sinasalita sa maraming bansa sa buong mundo."

We could add “by many people”

Maaari naming idagdag ang "ng maraming tao"

but because it's a really an unspecified group of people,

ngunit dahil ito ay talagang isang hindi natukoy na grupo ng mga tao,

we kind of just leave it off because it's not very necessary.

medyo hinahayaan na lang namin ito dahil hindi ito masyadong kailangan.

And the last reason why we use passive voice,

At ang huling dahilan kung bakit tayo gumagamit ng passive voice,

is for academic writing.

ay para sa akademikong pagsulat.

Whenever you're doing academic writing, such as essays or articles,

Sa tuwing gumagawa ka ng akademikong pagsulat, gaya ng mga sanaysay o artikulo,

we want to make it as least personal as possible

gusto naming gawin itong hindi gaanong personal hangga't maaari

and as professional as possible.

at bilang propesyonal hangga't maaari.

“I interviewed three people.”

"Nag-interview ako ng tatlong tao."

Well you can see we have the pronoun ‘I’.

Well makikita mo na mayroon tayong panghalip na 'ako'.

Well we don't want to use that.

Well, ayaw naming gamitin iyon.

We want to switch the sentence over to the passive voice.

Gusto naming ilipat ang pangungusap sa passive voice.

“Three people were interviewed.”

"Tatlong tao ang nainterbyu."

I could say “by me”

Masasabi kong "sa akin"

but again, we want to take out the ‘I’ and 'MEs' make it less personal as possible

ngunit muli, gusto naming alisin ang 'Ako' at 'ME' na gawin itong hindi gaanong personal hangga't maaari

and just have “Three people were interviewed.”

at magkaroon lamang ng "Tatlong tao ang nainterbyu."

Let's move on.

Mag-move on na tayo.

Awesome job, everyone.

Kahanga-hangang trabaho, lahat.

I know you did such a great job. And I know it was tough.

Alam kong napakaganda ng ginawa mo. At alam kong mahirap iyon.

But you did it.

Pero nagawa mo.

You now have a basic understanding of the how and when to use the passive voice.

Mayroon ka na ngayong pangunahing pag-unawa sa kung paano at kailan gagamitin ang passive voice.

But you're not done.

Pero hindi ka pa tapos.

You have a little bit of homework to do.

Mayroon kang kaunting takdang-aralin na dapat gawin.

“The teacher graded the homework.”

"Nilagyan ng marka ng guro ang takdang-aralin."

I want you to take this sentence, change it into the passive voice, and put it in the comments.

Gusto kong kunin mo ang pangungusap na ito, baguhin ito sa tinig na tinig, at ilagay ito sa mga komento.

Also you have a quiz.

May quiz ka din.
