We use the passive form to say what happens to people and things, to say what is done to them. For
example:
English is spoken here.
The car is being repaired.
We use the passive form when we don't know who did the action. For example:
The car was damaged while it was parked on the street.
The shirts were made in Turkey.
We use the passive form when what was done is more important than who did it. For example:
It was approved by Gerry last week.
I was informed by the Human Resources Manager only two days ago.
PASSIVhttp://www.englishgrammarsecrets.com/passive/menu.php
Passives are very abundant in English and occur more frequently than in Italian in all kinds of
contexts for several reasons:
1. impersonality: the speaker does not want to show his implication in the sentence:
ex: Tons of rubbish are thrown out to the sea every year.

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE
PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS
something started in the past and has continued up until now
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The
exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions
such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week
