One thought on “Verbs [Rivas]

  1. Your present active and past active examples are good.
    Present passive: “I am being taken to the store by the 12:30 bus.”
    Sentences where the main verb is a form of “to be” (e.g., is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been, etc.) are neither active nor passive. So “the store was busy” does not fall into either category.
    Past passive: “I was taken to the store by the 12:30 bus.”
