Образование предложений разного типа во всех временах происходит без использования дополнительных средств (вспомогательные глаголы), а только через смену порядка слов.

В примерах будут использоваться только те времена, которые были объяснены в предыдущих уроках и темах.

Отрицательные предложения

Действительный залог / Active Voice Страдательный залог / Passive Voice
Present Indefinite He gives piano lessons Piano lessons are not given
Past Indefinite He gave piano lessons Piano lessons were not given
Future Indefinite He will give piano lessons Piano lessons will not be given
Present Continuous He is giving piano lessons Piano lessons are not being given
Past Continuous He was giving piano lessons Piano lessons were not being given
Present Perfect He has given piano lessons Piano lessons have not been given

Примечание

Отрицательная частица not в страдательных залогах не утрачивает способности образовывать краткие формы с глаголами.

I am afraid the keys won't be found tomorrow.
We weren't called to the party.

Примечание

Страдательный залог в некоторых случаях выглядит несколько странно (и в английском и в русском вариантах). Поэтому в таких случаях лучше использовать залог действительный.

Is a special dinner being made by her? - Особенный ужин сейчас делается ею?

Лучше заменить на:

Is she making a special dinner?

В остальных временах (группы Perfect и Indefinite) на первое место (в общих вопросах) и на второе (в специальных) выносится вспомогательный глагол have/has или shall/will.

Действительный залог / Active Voice Страдательный залог / Passive Voice

Present Perfect Has he already fixed his car? Has his car already been fixed?
