Perfect Tense (Passive)
Like the perfect active, the perfect passive can refer to a completed action either in the past or present:
| portatus sum | I was carried (past perfect) |
| or | I have been carried (present perfect) |
The perfect passive of a verb is formed by placing its past passive participle (“PPP”) before a present form of the verb sum (I am).
The participle will change its ending according to gender and number, e.g.
| aqua statim portata est. |
| The water was carried at once. |
| pueri in via capti sunt. |
| The boys were taken in the street. |
