📝 Tips para entender las oraciones impersonales y pasivas reflejas
1. Para construir una oración impersonal en inglés, utiliza el pronombre impersonal «it» seguido del verbo en tercera persona y la preposición «for» o «to». Por ejemplo, «It is important to study» (Es importante estudiar) o «It is necessary to eat healthy» (Es necesario comer sano).
2. Para formar una oración pasiva refleja en inglés, utiliza el pronombre reflexivo «oneself» junto con el verbo en voz pasiva. Por ejemplo, «The car was repaired by oneself» (El coche fue reparado por uno mismo) o «The problem can be solved by oneself» (El problema puede ser resuelto por uno mismo).
3. Recuerda que en una oración pasiva refleja en inglés, el sujeto de la oración es la persona que realiza la acción sobre sí misma. Por ejemplo, «I washed myself» (Me lavé) o «She hurt herself» (Se lastimó). Cambia el pronombre reflexivo dependiendo de la persona gramatical correspondiente.
