The passive voice in English and Czech and some implications for teaching

Original language description

The paper presents the outcomes of research investigating the passive in English texts in comparison with their Czech translations. The outcomes are then related to English language teaching. The findings show that the periphrastic passive and the activeare the most common Czech equivalents for the English passive, depending on the style. The findings imply that the different ways of expression in English and Czech should be taught especially with respect to word order and different functional styles.The exploitation of past participles closely related to adjectives is suggested as potentially beneficial for learners.
