Creepy Tales: Short Horror Stories

Smee

On Christmas Eve, Tony Jackson had had a good dinner with his friends, and when they finished dinner, they decided to play Hide and Seek. However, Tony refused and proposed playing "Smee" but without him. His friends asked him why he didn't want to play Hide and Seek. He explained that ten years ago, a girl playing Hide and Seek fell down the stairs, broke her neck, and died.

La passiva no porta CD; dona èmfasi a l'acció.

Passiva Pròpia

Ser + participi del verb que porta el significat. El CAg (Complement Agent) s'introdueix per la preposició "per". Verbs com: acompanyar, seguir, conèixer, reconèixer, respectar, menysprear, també poden introduir el CAg amb "de". Centra l'atenció en el resultat de l'acció expressada pel verb.

Dos tipus:

• Completes: Si hi ha CAg, per exemple: "La reforma de l'estatut ha estat aprovada avui pel TC".
• Reduïdes: Si el CAg és omès. Són ideals perquè centren tota l'atenció en el resultat de l'acció i no en qui la realitza, per exemple: "= sense TC").

Sempre deriva d'una activa impersonal.
