➤ TRADUCCIÓN

James Naismith fue un deportista canadiense que se sintió frustrado cuando el largo invierno canadiense le impidió jugar al aire libre. Naismith se mudó a Estados Unidos, donde enseñó educación física en una pequeña universidad. El clima invernal era similar al de Canadá, así que Naismith inventó un juego que combinaba elementos del fútbol, el hockey y el béisbol. Su juego se jugaba con un balón de fútbol normal, pero la pelota no se pateaba. Se pasaba con la mano de un extremo al otro de una habitación y luego los jugadores lo lanzaban a una cesta/canasta. Al principio, había nueve jugadores en un equipo. En 1898 se organizó una liga profesional y entonces hubo cinco jugadores en un equipo. Se desarrollaron nuevas reglas para este deporte y se convirtió en un deporte olímpico oficial en 1936.

2. Para decidir si un verbo debe conjugarse en voz activa o pasiva debes tener en cuenta el significado de cada oración.  

➜ Si el sujeto es agente, es decir, si realiza la acción, el verbo debe estar en voz activa.  

➜ Si el sujeto es paciente, o sea, si recibe la acción del verbo o es afectado por ella, el verbo debe estar en voz pasiva.

3. Todos los verbos de este párrafo están en 'past simple', por lo que el auxiliar 'to be' es 'was' o 'were'.  

• Estructura del verbo pasivo en 'past simple':

➜ Verbo pasivo = auxiliar 'to be' en 'past simple' ('was'/'were') + participio pasado del verbo activo

➜ El auxiliar 'to be' debe escogerse según el sujeto de la oración pasiva:

• Sujeto pasivo: I, he, she, it --------------- Auxiliar 'to be': WAS  

• Sujeto pasivo: you, we, they ------------ Auxiliar 'to be': WERE  

• Estructura de la oración pasiva en 'past simple':

➜ Sujeto pasivo + auxiliar 'to be' en 'past simple' ('was'/'were') + participio pasado del verbo activo + complemento agente (+ otros complementos)

NOTA: En este texto todos los complementos agente están omitidos.
