If the passive modal verbs are in the present tense, we insert ‘be’ into the modal verb, and transform the base verb to the past participle:
She should fix her computer. (active voice) → Her computer should be fixed. (passive voice)
Modals: can be / could be + past participle:
We use these forms to talk about present and past ability or possibility in the passive voice:
- My professor has told me that I may be invited to give the keynote speech at the conference this year.
- The road over the mountains might be closed if this rain turns to snow.
- If you’re all keen to make an early start, the meeting could be brought forward to nine o’ clock.
