Hi lyndal
The tense in the sentence above is present perfect simple in the passive voice.
Compare the two following sentences:
Present perfect in the active voice:
I have sold my car.
Present perfect in the passive voice:
My car has been sold.
To form the present perfect passive you need:
be in the present perfect form (has/have been) + the past particple (sold). |
