Sentence analysis (Passive voice) #1 (permalink) Mon Mar 12, 2007 5:47 am   Sentence analysis (Passive voice)		  
I have been busy with my work.

We -- subject
have -- helping verb
been -- main verb
busy - adjective
with my work -- ?

Also, I think this sentence is in Passive voice.

Please you assist me.

.
Not passive. 'With my work' is an adverbial modifying 'busy'.
