Kirkham, Samuel

"English Grammar in Familiar Lectures"

We might, could, would, _or_ should have been loved, you
might, could, would, _or_ should have been loved, they, &c.
INFINITIVE MOOD.
Pres. Tense. To be loved. Perf. Tense. To have been loved.
PARTICIPLES.
Present, Being loved. Perfect _or_ Passive, Loved.
Compound, Having been loved.
NOTE. This conjugation of the passive verb _to be loved_, is called
the _passive, voice_ of the regular active-transitive verb _to
love_.
Now conjugate the following passive verbs; that is, speak them in the
first pers. sing, and plur. of each tense, through all the moods, and
speak the participles; "to be loved, to be rejected, to be slighted, to
be conquered, to be seen, to be beaten, to be sought, to be taken."
NOTE 1. When the perfect participle of an _intransitive_ verb is
joined to the neuter verb _to be_, the combination is not a passive
verb, but a _neuter_ verb in a _passive form_; as, "He _is gone_;
The birds _are flown_; The boy _is_ grown_; My friend _is arrived_."
The following mode of construction, is, in general, to be preferred;
"He _has_ gone; The birds _have_ flown; The boy _has_ grown; My
Friend _has_ arrived.
