Uwaga!

Strony biernej używamy, by podkreślić, że czynność jest ważniejsza od wykonawcy. 

Wykonawcę czynności, jeśli nie jest oczywisty, wprowadzamy słówkiem by.

Dopełnienie w stronie czynnej staje się podmiotem w stronie biernej, a po nim stosujemy odpowiednie formy czasowników:

Present Simple	is / are + III forma/-ed
Present Continuous	is / are + being + III forma/-ed
Past Simple	was / were + III forma/-ed
Past Continuous	was / were + being + III forma/-ed
Present Perfect	has / have been + III forma/-ed
Past Perfect	had been + III forma/-ed
Future Simple	will be + III forma/-ed
Czasowniki modalne	can / could / may / might / must / have to / should / ought to + be + III forma/-ed
