Juliet was (passive auxiliary) loved (passive participle) by Romeo.
Many students have (perfect auxiliary) loved (past participle) Romeo and Juliet.
Good morning M56, you'd analyse the following as :[perfect auxiliary]+[past participle/passive auxiliary]+[passive participle]?
# Juliet has been loved by Romeo (if not so natural).
