Head Tutor Minoo Posted December 9, 2017 Head Tutor Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 The tense of a Passive sentence is the tense that the verb 'be' is conjugated in. 'are' is the present simple tense of 'be': The windows are cleaned every day. If you want to say that the action is complete, you should say: The windows have been cleaned. / The windows were cleaned yesterday. >> The windows are CLEAN now. Link to comment
