Hola compañeros, ARRE!!!!

Hoy la palabra del dia es detectar. La oracion se dice, Evacuaron el edificio cuando se detectó un olor a gas.

¿Cual es la diferencia decir o usar (SE) con detectó pero no usan (SE) con evacuaron?

Gracias por ayudarme. Chavofelix!!!!

La oracion se dice

En esta frase de tu pregunta la se no es necesaria porque el sustantivo, lo que viene siendo el sujeto, hace su propia acción.

Evacuaron el edificio cuando se detectó un olor a gas.

La se en esta oración le da voz pasiva o sea "They evacuated the buliding when a smell of gas was detected."

¿Cual es la diferencia decir o usar (SE) con detectó pero no usan (SE) con evacuaron?

"Evacuaron el edificio" es voz activa. Ellos hacen la acción.

I believe se here is passive.

The English equivalent is "They evacuated the office when the smell of gas was detected."

If you used say with evacuaron it would be "They were evacuated from the office when the smell of gas was detected.

I don't think there are any reflexive uses of evacuaron that change the meaning so probably passive and impersonal are the only times you would use say with that verb. Maybe in a purposefully constructed and semi unnatural way you could say "When the police showed up they evacuated themselves from the premises" and you would use it reflexively, but it's not really about se in that context but reflexive use in general which uses se in third person forms.

Anyway, the difference is evacuar isn't passive here but detectar is.

Sounds just right on the passive stuff. - rogspax, Oct 10, 2013
