Passive voice can be used for all 12 verb tenses, including the present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, future continuous, and future perfect continuous tenses. While some believe these tenses cannot be used passively, the document asserts that passive sentences can be formed for any tense by changing the helping verb to the appropriate tense. A table provides examples of simple, negation, and interrogative sentences in passive voice for each of the 12 tenses to demonstrate their proper usage.
