V. Getting to know an artist: VINCENT VAN GOGH. Read the following text.

Vincent van Gogh was a painter and was born in the Brabant village of Zundert on 30 March 1853. He was not the first child of the Protestant minister Theodorus van Gogh and Anna Carbentus: another son (also named Vincent) had been stillborn on the same date, precisely one year earlier.

Happily, the birth of the second Vincent went smoothly, and was followed by that of three sisters and two brothers: Anna, Theo, Wil, Lies and Cor. The Van Gogh family went on frequent walks in the area around Zundert, helping to develop a great love of nature in the future artist.

Vincent didn't find his direction in life until he was 27 years old. He tried different jobs, from art dealer to schoolmaster and preacher. Eventually he found his calling on the advice of his younger brother Theo.

Vincent often included little sketches in the letters he sent his brother Theo and sometimes attached a drawing of what he had seen. This eventually led to a turning point in his life, when Theo advised him to concentrate more on his drawing. Vincent now became convinced that he could also serve God as an artist. He moved to Brussels in October 1880, where he began to work on his drawing technique and came into contact with other artists. He no longer had a paid job, so Theo sent him money from time to time.

Vincent's parents weren't very happy with his dream of an artist's life. Fortunately, that did not stop Vincent from working hard and improving his skills. He lived in various places in the Netherlands. In The Hague he took painting and drawing lessons with his uncle, the artist Anton Mauve.

Vincent's time in South of France was a turbulent period in his life. He fell ill and cut off his ear, but he kept working despite everything. During this time, he even made some of his most famous artworks.

Vincent spent the final months of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise: an artists' village near Paris. He made new friends and he began to paint with enthusiasm. Yet after a visit to Theo, Vincent grew very

concerned about his financial future. This uncertainty became too much to bear on top of his illness. Vincent ended his life in July 1890.

IX. STUDY TIME. Read the following lesson about PASSIVE VOICE.

Usamos esta forma de comunicarnos cuando queremos que la frase se centre en el objeto más que en el sujeto (quién realizó la acción), como es lo comúnmente expresado. El sujeto es el elemento que realiza la acción, y el objeto, el que se ve afectado por dicha acción.

Como comúnmente escribimos en inglés:The dog chased the cat

La parte central de esta oración es el verbo, «chased». El sujeto, es decir, el que realiza la acción, es «the dog». Y finalmente el objeto que se ve afectado, es «the cat».

En voz pasiva:The cat was chased by the dog

«The cat» sigue siendo el objeto, pero ahora ha cambiado su ubicación, ya que en esta oración se busca enfatizar LO QUE SE HIZO Y NO QUIÉN/QUÉ LO HIZO.

Errores comunes

A veces resulta difícil recordar esta forma de comunicación en el momento adecuado, o reconocerla cuando aparece. Esto da lugar a errores como:

Querer expresar que algo hizo algo, cuando en realidad queremos expresar que una acción recayó en algo:MAL: «The broken window repaired». Estaríamos diciendo que la ventana reparó algo, lo cual no tiene sentido.BIEN: «The broken window was repaired». Aquí sí estamos expresando que la ventana fue reparada.

Mencionar a quién hizo la acción, cuando en realidad NO ES NECESARIO o NO SE SABE QUIÉN REALIZÓ LA ACCIÓN:MAL: «The window was smashed by someone». En este caso, no sabemos quién rompió la ventana, pero de todas formas queremos comunicar el hecho de que la ventana está rota, por lo que es innecesario agregar «by someone» BIEN: «The window was smashed». Aquí estamos expresando solamente el hecho de que la ventana está rota, sin importar o sin saber quién lo hizo.
