Passive verbs

Verbtime uses the rules listed here to build passive verbs.

1. Passive verbs are always built with the auxiliary verb "to be"!
2. If a verb does not have a Past Participle, then the passive form cannot be built.
3. Generally spoken the following building scheme is valid for all passive verbs:

            Singular I     Personal Pronoun + [to be] + Past Participle (verb)
            Singular II    Personal Pronoun + [to be] + Past Participle (verb)
            Singular III   Personal Pronoun + [to be] + Past Participle (verb)
            Plural I       Personal Pronoun + [to be] + Past Participle (verb)
            Plural II      Personal Pronoun + [to be] + Past Participle (verb)
            Plural III     Personal Pronoun + [to be] + Past Participle (verb)
        

	Example 1:	Indicative, Past, Singular I of "to send":
		I was sent
	Example 2:	Indicative, Present Perfect, Singular III of "to send":
		He has been sent
