Answer:
- The sentence may be changed to active voice because it has an active verb, which must be changed to the verb's past particple.
- The verb <em>"encontramos"</em> must be changed to "<em>foi encontrado</em>".
Explanation:
The question in English is:
- The sentence "One day we found a dead goat", can be changed to the passive voice because it has what verb?
The answer is that the sentence can be changed to passive voice because it has an active verb. The active verb is "encontramos" (found).
To pass to passive voice, you have to change the active verb to verb’s past participle.
Thus, "encontramos" has to be changed to "foi encontrado".
This change means that the deat goat was found. By changing to passive voice, the new sentence will not contain the information about who found the dead goat.
In Portuguese, the changed sentece will be:
- "Um dia um bode morto foi encontrado".
Which in English is "One day a dead goat was found".
The four functions of language: to define, to evaluate, to influence, to reflect. In language we always have a sender, a receiver and an information. The sender sends the information to the receiver in a specific context (a sorounding world) and the information is corelated with the world (it says something about it). The functions of language describes functions of theese elements. Language "defines" because it says something about the world and it shows a connection between the information and the world. Language influence, because every speech we give has its consequences for the receiver so here we have correlation between the information and the receiver. What's more language reflects because it shows the emotions and intentions of the sender (connection between sender and information). And last but not least we have the function "to evaluate". It shows how the information influences itself, how it is built, what kind of language we use and what stylistic values it has.
