am/are/is

+ ed (past participle)
has/have been

[subject] were eaten by

 Bo nauka nie musi być nudna!
Why have I been fired?
(present perfect)
Will I be given more information?
(will)
We use passive:
1)
To emphasise one part of the sentence:
The president met the pope.
(active)
The pope was met by the president (passive the pope is more important)
2)
To express something in a more polite/formal way:
Send application letters to this address
(active)
Application letters should be sent to this address. (passive more polite/formal)
3)
When the action is more important than who does it:
Some men clean the streets every night.
(active)
The streets are cleaned every night.
(passive the action is more important)
4)
We don't know who did the action:
Someone has robbed my house!
(active)
My house has been robbed.
(passive I don't know who robbed me)
UWAGA
It is important to think about the 'agent' in passive sentences. The agent is the
person or thing who/which does the action. It usually written after
by:
The pope was met by the president.
(agent = the president. He met the pope)
I was given a present by my mother.
(agent = my mother. She gave me a present)
The winning goal was scored by Figo.
(agent = Figo. He scored the goal)
However, sometimes we do not mention the agent because:
We do not know who:
My house was burgled.
It's not important who:
The streets are cleaned each night.
The agent is obvious:
The criminal was sent to prison (by the judge!)
The agent is already mentioned:
His book was written in 1789 (by him!?)

.............................................................................................................
8)
