Hello to everybody,
This is my first post on this forum but I've been reading it for several months. I think this forum is the most useful forum for everyone who wants to learn English.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Few days ago I watched a movie, it was Agatha Christie's Poirot. And Poirot said 'She was been attacked'. This sentence seems very odd to me since I've never seen such a construction at any grammar book. It's not a Present Perfect Passive, it's not a Past Simple Passive... I know that he meant the Passive Voice but what tense?
Is this sentence grammatically correct? If so, could you please explain this structure to me? Or it was just a mistake from Ms Poirot?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thank you very much in advance. I'll be waiting for your answers.
