Hello all,

I'm facing some problem in grammar specifically Passive in Present Continuous and Present Perfect. I don’t know when to use it in my sentence or writing.

I checked some website online but I didn't find a clear explanation ..

Can you advise me how learn more about passive, please? It is very confusing.:roll::cry::cry::cry::roll:

Give some example sentences by yourself, then the teachers here will give you advice.

I am not a teacher.

The first says that at some time in the past, the process of washing was ongoing. We don't know if it has been completed.
The second says that the washing was completed.

In accordance with the present perfect being a present tense, I'd express it as, "The washing is completed."
