I'm not native English, but the second choice is the most formal than the first one.
But at least we leave that another mater explain us it more minutely.

Quote:
Las calles están siendo contaminadas por personas que tiran... Then I transform into active voice: Las personas (que tiran...) están contaminando las calles... And later, I translate it into English: Persons that throw (...) are polluting the streets. So, present continuous active - present continuous passive And present perfect active - present perfect passive But that "due to" doesn't allow me to go on, since I've always seen "by" (as in Spanish we use "por"). So, wait until somebody corrects me |

This is impossible. A verb has 5 attributes
1) Person (1,2,3) 2) Number (singular / plural) 3) Voice (Active, Passive, [Middle ]) 4) Tense (Present, Perfect, Future, etc. 5) Mood (Indicative, Subjunctive, Imperative...etc) The TENSE of the verb cannot be Present and Perfect, but a verb can be any combination of the 5 attributes, although some combinations never occur. You can combine Present tense with Passive voice: The dinner is being cooked. You can combine Perfect tense with Passive voice: The dinner has been cooked. You can combine Present tense with Active voice The cat sits on the mat. You can combine Perfect tense with Active voice The cat has sat on the mat. All of these have indicative mood, 3rd person, singular. Is this of any use? |

I think that Lee ying wants to transform passive voice into active, observing the rules of the tenses.

THE STREETS ARE BEING POLLUTED BY PERSONS THAT TRHOW THEIR TRASH ON THE FLOOR. People are throwing their trash on the ground, and are polluting the streets. ground = outside the house floor = inside the house |

This is not the passive voice, it is already active. It does not really make any sense. Quote:
The sentence above is perfect passive.
The preparation of HOT DOG’S CARS has caused several illnesses. Last edited by Perikles; November 10, 2009 at 02:29 PM. |

"I have finished," "we have gone," and "John has eaten" are all examples of the present perfect tense. It is formed by using a present tense conjugation of the helping verb (auxiliary verb) have and the past participle. The past perfect tense uses the past tense conjugation of the auxiliary and the past participle. For example: I had finished we had gone John had eaten The future perfect is similarly formed: I will have finished we will have gone John will have eaten The present perfect passive just throws been to the mix. For example: We have been given Jill has been seen The past perfect passive: You had been given Jack had been seen The future perfect passive: I will have been given John will have been seen Last edited by Rusty; November 10, 2009 at 06:28 PM. |

Yours must be an American convention, because my notation agrees closely with other European languages. So my explanations above must be totally incomprehensible on that side of the Atlantic. I'll leave Lee Ying to you. |
