Hello,

1. English has been taught by Mr.Clive.

What is tense of this sentence?

I find it very difficult to  tell  the type of tense, if the sentence is written in passive.

What are the rules to identified a tense of a sentence written in passive?

Mr.Clive has taught English. (Present perfect--Active voice)

English has been taught by Mr. Clive (Present perfect-Passive voice)

Just my two cents. The forum gurus might explain you the rules to identify the tense of a sentence.
