Perfect passive

The perfect passive tells us what

has been done

to the subject, e.g.

‘I have been loved’ or ‘I was loved’. It is formed by taking the Perfect

(or Past) Participle Passive (the PPP), and combining it with the verb

‘to be’. The PPP of a verb is formed from the

supine stem

, found in

the 4th principal part. All you have to do is change the

-um

to

-us

.

(Now you know why we have been encouraging you to learn all four

principal parts of your verbs.)

amāt-us, -a, -um sum

Ihavebeenloved

amāt-us -a, -um es

You(sing.)havebeenloved

amāt-us, -a, -um est

He,she,ithasbeenloved

amāt-ī, -ae, -a

sumus

Wehavebeenloved

amāt-ī, -ae, -a

estis

You(pl.)havebeenloved

amāt-ī, -ae, -a

sunt

Theyhavebeenloved

Note that the PPP is an adjective, declining like

bonus

. If the subject

is masculine and singular, the ending is

-us

. But if it is feminine, this

becomes

-a

, and so on.

Thus: He has been loved (or was loved) =

amātus est.

She has been loved (or was loved) =

amāta est.

The boys have been loved (or were loved) =

puerī amātī sunt.

The girls have been loved (or were loved) =

puellaeamātae sunt.
