The video discusses verbal voices in Portuguese grammar, specifically active, passive, and reflexive voices.
* The active voice is when the subject performs the action expressed by the verb, e.g. "Capitu kisses Bentinho."
* The passive voice is when the subject receives the action, and there are two types: analytical and synthetic passive voices.
* Analytical passive voice is formed with the verb "ser" (to be) and the main verb in the participle, e.g. "The beach house was rented by her."
* Synthetic passive voice is formed with a verb in the third person singular or plural, e.g. "She rented if the beach house."
* The reflexive voice is when the subject practices and receives the action at the same time, e.g. "Capitu and Bentinho kissed each other."
* The video also explains how to identify verbal voices by looking at the relationship between the subject and the verb in a sentence.
* Additionally, it discusses how to transfigure sentences from active to passive voice, including the importance of direct transitive verbs and maintaining the same tense and mood as the original sentence.
* The video provides examples to illustrate these concepts, including sentences with direct and indirect objects, and the importance of verb agreement with the subject.
