Страдательный залог (passive voice)
Если подлежащее обозначает лицо или предмет, совершающее действие, то глагол употребляется в форме действительного залога:
The sun attracts the planets.
Если же подлежащее обозначает лицо или предмет, подвергающийся действию со стороны другого лица или предмета, то глагол употребляется в форме страдательного залога:
The planets are attracted by the sun.
Времена страдательного залога образуются при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в соответствующем времени и формы причастия 2смыслового глагола(причастия прошедшего времени). Таким образом, при спряжении глагола в страдательном залоге изменяется только глагол to be, смысловой же глагол имеет во всех временах одну и ту же форму – причастия прошедшего времени. Следовательно, время, в котором стоит глагол в страдательном залоге, определяется формой, в которой стоит вспомогательный глагол to be.
