 * I. GRAMMAR **

Ruben Dario : was a writer, a poet. He was the creator of the writing action. He wrote Sonatina, Anagké, Lo Fatal.

I want to concentrate on his creation or actions not on him, So this is how the passive voice would look like: (remember this example is in the past because Ruben Darío already passed away). Sonatina  was written by Ruben Darío. __Sugar__ is produced in large proportions __by the Nicaraguan Sugar State Inc__.

Example: Ruben Darío wrote Sonatina. In this sentence, Ruben Darío is the poet (the creator, the writer of the poem Sonatina). Because we want to highlight Ruben Darío, we use the active voice. We usually follow this formula: Subject + active verb + complement. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Let´s Practice now a. Active Voice b.
