Table1.5 - Passive Voice (пасивний стан)

В англійській мові є два стани: активний і пасивний. Коли підмет є особою чи предметом, що виконує дію, дієслово вживається у формі активного стану:

Коли підмет є особою чи предметом, що підлягає дії збоку особи чи предмета, дієслово вживається у формі пасивного стану:

I was asked. – Мене запитали.

Як утворюється? Пасивний стан утворюється за допомогою дієслова to be у відповідному часі, особі, числі та дієприкметника минулого часу смислового дієслова:

The bridge was built in 2003.
