Voz Pasiva Pasado

¿Cómo se construye en pasado?

La pasiva en pasado contiene:   WAS/WERE + VERB IN PAST PARTICIPLE

Ejemplos donde no se menciona quien hace la acción. Esto puede suceder por que no es importante, porque es obvio, o porque se quiere ocultar (como es el caso de "Errores fueron cometidos").

Lectura

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States in 1929. At that time in America, black people didn't have equal rights with white people. Black people had to sit in the back of busses. The schools were segregated and there were even separate public restrooms for black people and white people. Black people's lives were not very good.Martin Luther King Jr. Leads March for Civil Rights
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a minister in the Baptist Church. He fought against racial segregation. He wanted equal rights for all people. But he didn't use violence in his fight. He asked people to fight peacefully. For example, he asked black people to ride in the front of the bus. More than 200,000 people went to Washington D.C. to listen to him speak and ask the government to change unfair laws.
Because of Martin Luther King, Jr., many laws began to change in the United States. But many white people disagreed with him and his ways. In 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated by a white man.
Every year on the third Monday of January, Americans remember Martin Luther King, Jr. They try to remember how much America has changed. And they think about how much more America should change in the future.
