19B.1 Passif direct – Option 1 – (Passé antérieur)(Appendix C - Le Passif – The Passive Formats) [Indicateur d'antériorité récente*] + sujet (nom ou pronom, objet direct du verbe principal) + (eus, eus, eut, eûmes, eûtes, eurent) + été + verbe principal (p.p.)(e.s.es) *Word(s) or expression indicating a recent past, such as: à peine que ... (barely / right after ...), après que ... (after ...), aussitôt que ... (as soon as ...), dès que ... (as soon as ...), lorsque ... (when ...), une fois que ... (once ...) (Note: When using the "Passif direct - Option 1" format, the subject of the verb "être" must also be the direct object of the participe passé (p.p.) of the main verb, and because it also precedes the p.p., the p.p. agrees in gender and in number with that subject/direct object.) |

19B.4 Passif pronominal – (Passé antérieur)(Appendix H - Le Pronominal passif et impersonnel) [Indicateur d'antériorité récente*] + sujet (nom ou pronom, inanimé, – objet direct du verbe principal) + se + (fut, furent) + verbe principal (p.p.)(e.s.es) *Word(s) or expression indicating a recent past, such as: à peine que ... (barely / right after ...), après que ... (after ...), aussitôt que ... (as soon as ...), dès que ... (as soon as ...), lorsque ... (when ...), une fois que ... (once ...) (Note: When using the "Passif pronominal (direct)" format, the reflexive pronoun is also the direct object (of the participe passé (p.p.) of the main verb) and it also precedes the p.p., so the p.p. agrees in gender and in number with that direct-object reflexive pronoun – ie. with the subject.) |
