Hi khan,

not yet, I am a little confused by soliboy's example of passive in "Present Perfect Continuous/Past Perfect Continuous and Future Perfect Continuous"

I am just waiting for guidance from experts

Hi, can I answer this question?
regular past verbs a lways end with the suffix "ed" and the past participle ( p.p)
e.g: present verb -----------past--------------------- p.p
- play---------------- played ----------------- played
- ask ------------------asked-------------------- asked
- change--------------changed--------------------changed
- cry------------------ cried------------------- cried
* But the irregular verbs varies from one group to another { we must memorize them by heart}, because they don't have one rule to change them.

e.g: present verb-------------- past------------------ p.p

-eat----------------- ate----------------- eaten
-drive------------------ drove--------------- driven
-come------------------ came ---------------- come
- read----------------- read {red}--------------- read { red}
- cut ----------------- cut-------------------- cut
I hope I were helpful.

Hi Elliott,
If I understoond your question perfectly, I would say" we often use the passive form when it is not so important ( who or what ) did the action in the sentence.
For example: we can say either:
=The house was built in 1700. OR
=The house was built in 1700 by Romans.
I hope I've been helpful.

Hi Pappu,
First of all, I would like from you to write English, and not to use for example 2= to
because if you are very serious in learning you must use it.
Answering your question as following:
1- we use " to have " ( have / has/ had)= to indicate an action that was happening in a certain time in the past, with a connection with the present.For exampl we say:
a- He/She/It has eaten the food. PS= we always put the past participle of the verb after ( has /have / had)
b- They/We/You/I have eaten the food.
Examples ( a+b) are called " present perfect"
c-He/She/It/ They/We/You/I had eaten the food.
c= is called past perfect.
=============================================
2- we use ( have/has been+ past participle)as in passive which the rule of passive sentences always ( Object + auxiliary +verb (p.p)+(by agent).)
examples:
a-Tom has cleaned the room.( an active sentence)
The room has been cleaned. ( passive sentence)

b-Tom has cleaned the cars. ( an active sentence)
The cars have been cleaned. ( passive sentence)
I hope I've been helpful
