Angielska stronę bierną (passive voice) tworzymy niemalże tak samo jak polską, czyli za pomocą czasownika „to be” oraz formy Past Participle czyli trzeciej formy z tabelki. I tak, strona bierna w określonych czasach będzie wyglądać:
– Przy czasie Present Simple
Strona czynna (active) – They lock the shop every day at 10 p.m.
Strona bierna (passive) – The shop is locked every day at 10 p.m.
– Przy czasie Present Continuous
Active – They are doing their homework.
Passive – Their homework is being done.
– Przy czasie Past Simple
Active – They made the coffee.
Passive – The coffee was made.
– Przy czasie Past Continuous
Active – They were eating dinner when I came.
Passive – Dinner was being eaten when I came.
– Przy czasie Present Perfect
Active – They have done it.
Passive – It has been done.
– Przy czasie Past Perfect
Active – They had found the money.
Passive – The money had been found.
– Przy czasie Future Simple
Active – I will do it.
Passive – It will be done.
