Pronome relativo CHE + Passivo
Relative pronoun “che” + Passive form
“Il gol che ha deciso la partita è stato segnato da Olga Carmona”
(The goal that decided the match was scored by Olga Carmona)
Let’s break down this sentence to explain the use of the relative pronoun “che” and the passive verb “è stato segnato” (was scored).
1. Use of the relative pronoun “che”:
In the sentence, “che” is a relative pronoun that introduces a relative clause providing additional information about the noun “gol” (goal).
Relative pronouns are used to link two parts of a sentence and avoid repetition.
In this case, “che” connects the main clause “Il gol è stato segnato da Olga Carmona” with the subordinate clause “che ha deciso la partita.”
2. Passive verb “è stato segnato”:
In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence undergoes the action rather than performing it.
In this case, “il gol” (the goal) is the subject of the passive verb “è stato segnato” (was scored).
The preposition “da” is used to indicate the agent or doer of the action in the passive voice. It is equivalent to the English preposition “by.”
In this specific case, “da Olga Carmona” means that the goal was scored “by” Olga Carmona.
