Passive Voice (Пассивный залог)

To be + V3= Passive Voice

В английском языке имеется два залога: the Active Voice (действительный залог) и the Passive Voice (страдательный залог). Страдательный залог показывает, что действие совершается над лицом, предметом. Сравните:

I write letters every day. – Я пишу письма каждый день. ( Active Voice)

Letters are written every day. – Письма пишутся каждый день. (Passive Voice)

Время сказуемого зависит от глагола to be.

Present Simple	am/is/are given
Present Continuous	am/is/are being given
Present Perfect	has/have been given
Past Continuous	was/were being given
Past Simple	was/were given
Future Simple	shall/will be given
