Explicație
Utilizam forma pasivă cand nu se știe/nu este important cine face o acțiune. Pentru a spune de cine este făcută o determinată acțiune se utilizează by. Subiectul nu efectuează acțiunea, ci o "suportă".
Structura frazelor pasive este următoarea:
- PRESENT SIMPLE: subject + to be (conjugated) + verb to past simple ( + ... ) e.g. Venice is visited by millions of people every year.
- PRESENT CONTINUOUS: subject + to be (conjugated) + being + verb to past participle ( + ... ) e.g. My school is being restored.
- PRESENT PERFECT: subject + have (conjugated) + been + verb to past participle ( + ... ) e.g. The Cleopatra's tomb has never been found.
- PAST SIMPLE: subject + was/were + verb to past participle ( + ... ) e.g. Giulio Cesare was killed by Cassio and Bruto.
- PAST CONTINUOUS: subject + was/were + being + verb to past participle ( + ... ) e.g. The boy was being threaten by the old man.
- PAST PERFECT: subject + had been + verb to past participle ( + ... ) e.g. My mother had been elected as head teacher.
- GERUND: subject + verb + being + verb to past participle ( + ... ) e.g. I hate being woken up early.
