Structure: Passive Voice
The
passive voice is less usual than the active voice. The active voice is the
"normal" voice. But sometimes we need the passive voice. In this
lesson we look at how to construct the passive voice, when to use it and how to
conjugate it.
Construction of the Passive Voice
The structure of the passive
voice is very simple:
subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main
verb (past participle)
The main verb is always in
its past participle form.
Look at these examples:

|
auxiliary verb (to be)

main verb (past participle)

COLOR MIXING
It's
easy to mix paints to make new colors. You can use the primary colors (red, blue,
and yellow) plus black and white to get all of the
colors of the rainbow.
Mixing Colors
The three primary colors are red, yellow,
and blue; they are the only colors that cannot be made by mixing
two other colors.
The three secondary colors are green, orange, and violet;
they are each a mixture of two primary colors. Their hue is halfway between the
two primary colors that were used to mix them. On the color wheel, the
secondary colors are located between the colors they are made from.
The six tertiary colors (red-orange, red-violet, yellow-green, yellow-orange, blue-green and blue-violet)
are made by mixing a primary color with an adjacent secondary color. On the
color wheel, the tertiary colors are located between the primary and secondary
colors they are made from.
Black, white and gray are not true colors (or hues). They
are considered to be neutral, achromatic colors.
Value refers to how light or dark a color appears. To make
a color lighter in value, white is added. A light color is called a tint of the
original hue. For example, pink is a tint of red. To make a color darker in
value, black is added. A dark color is called a shade of the original hue.
Maroon is a shade of red.
Making Colors Lighter or Darker
To make a color lighter in value, add white. The more white you add, the
lighter the color will get. This is called a tint of the original color.
|
To make a color darker (this is called a shade of the original color), add a
small amount of black. If you add too much black, your color will be almost
black. Another way to darken a color is to mix in some of the complementary
color (the opposite color on a color wheel - see below). This produces a
rich, dark color (richer than just adding black). Some pairs of complementary
colors are: blue/orange, green/red, yellow/purple, black/white.

Intensity refers to the brightness or dullness of a color. An example is bright red (or dull red).
