Dobrodošli na stranicu Passive Voice.
Prelazni glagoli u engleskom imaju i aktivno i pasivno stanje:
| active | | passive |
|---|
| The hunter killed the lion. | > | The lion was killed by the hunter. |
| Someone has cleaned the windows. | > | The windows have been cleaned. |
Pasiv se gradi od glagola "be" i glavnog glagola u past participu, što zapravo znači da se na pravilan glagol dodaje nastavak -d/-ed, a nepravilan se traži u III koloni.
| be | past participle | |
