More Passives
In this lesson, we'll be looking at how to use the passive in the future and in the present perfect.
Future Passive
The future passive is a passive sentence that tells you what will happen in the future. We can use the future passive in two ways: with "will be" and with "be going to." Most of the time they mean the exact same thing.
Future Passive with "will"
| Subject | will | be | past participle | by + noun |
| Assignemnts | will | be | graded | by teachers. |
Future Passive with "be going to"
| Subject | is going to | be | past participle | by + noun |
| Assignemnts | are going to | be | graded | by teachers. |
Present Perfect Passive
The present perfect is used when something has just happened. To use the present perfect passive, you need "has/have" + been.
| Subject | "has/have" | been | past participle | by + noun |
| Assignemnts | have | been | graded | by teachers. |
