    The document discusses passive sentences and the present perfect passive tense. Passive sentences focus on the noun receiving the action rather than the performer of the action. The present perfect passive uses some form of "have" plus the past participle of the main verb, and can be used positively or negatively to describe an action that was completed or not completed by the passive subject.
