present and past passive ne demek?

Passive voice is a grammatical construction where the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action, rather than the agent or doer of the action. In the present passive voice, the main verb is in the present tense and the auxiliary verb "to be" is used. For example, "The car is being washed by the mechanic."

In the past passive voice, the main verb is in the past tense and the auxiliary verb "to be" is also used. For example, "The cake was baked by my mom."

Passive voice is often used to emphasize the receiver of the action instead of the agent, or to obfuscate the doer of the action. It can also be used to avoid using "I" or "we" in situations where the speaker wants to remain anonymous or neutral.

In general, active voice is considered more direct and concise than passive voice, and it is often preferred in writing. However, there are situations where passive voice is more appropriate or necessary.
