Usually the subject is the performer of the action,described by the predicate. However, sometimes we are talking about something that happens over the main character. In this case, he ceases to be an actor and passively takes action.
Passive voice (grammar): education table
In Russian, a similar construct is calledpassive voice. In English, this is a passive voice. The table below shows how it is formed in different aspects. The general formula for making a pledge contains the appropriate form of the verb-link to be, which requires past participle after it.
The main difference in the structure of education is duewith a variety of forms of the verb to be. This, in turn, depends on the specific aspect and time of the proposal in the passive voice (the table below, in the left column indicates the aspects, and in the top line - the times). The last column is titled Future In The Past, which means "the future is in the past." However, this time is often not taken into account as a temporary construction proper and is called conditional sentences, since it reports hypothetical actions that are usually translated into Russian using the “would” particle. The past participle is reduced to the letter "p".
As we can see, in all four aspects: indefinite, lasting, complete, and ending lasting - the construction of a passive voice can take place.
The table also gives two possible forms.the verb to be in the past, future and future in the past tense, which are used in accordance with the person. Was - the singular number of the first and third person, were - the plural and the singular number of the second person; shall be the singular and the plural of the first person, will will be the singular and the plural of the second and third persons; should - is similar to shall, would - is similar to will.
Notice that in the future tense for the first personthe singular is the verb shall. However, in modern English, the will will almost always be used, and there is also a tendency to replace should with would.
Lasting aspect
Consider in more detail the lasting aspect.Here, the passive voice (table, examples are given above and below) is formed by the form of the auxiliary verb to be, followed by the past participle being and participle of the past tense.
Jobs are still being lost. / Work still went behind schedule.
It was being done without his knowledge. / This was accomplished without using his skills.
With modal verbs
In the position directly behind the modal verb, the verb-bundle to be is used in basic form, accompanied by a past participle.
What can be done? / What can be done?
We wont be beaten. / We do not want to be beaten.
In the past time
In the case of past tense, modal verbs are used in conjunction with have been.
He may have been given the car. / He could be given a car.
He couldn "t have been told by Jimmy. / He could not be revealed with the words of Jimmy.
Passive infinitive
To form a passive voice, the infinitive uses the verb to be or to have were, followed by the main verb in the past participle.
He wanted to be forgiven. / He wanted to be forgiven.
The car was reported to have been stolen./ The report stated that the car was stolen.
Informal passive
In informal English, passive voice is sometimes more natural to get instead of to be.
Our car gets cleaned every weekend. / Our car goes to the car wash every weekend.
He got killed in a plane crash. / He crashed in a plane crash.
Thus, with modal verbs and composedThe infinitive can also be used passive voice. The table shows that in time-aspect constructions the verb to be can have different forms, depending on the subject. However, passive infinitive and similar structures with modal verbs do not carry facial features.
