THE PLUPERFECT PASSIVE TENSE.

195. The compound tense made by combining the past passive participle

with the past tense of the verb "esti" expresses an act or condition

which "had been undergone" by the subject of the verb at some point in

past time. It is called the "pluperfect passive tense". The conjugation

of "vidi" in this tense is as follows:

mi estis vidita, I had been seen (I was having-been-seen).

vi estis vidita, you had been seen.

li (sxi, gxi) estis vidita, he (she, it) had been seen.

ni estis viditaj, we had been seen.
