Present perfect passive voice

Present perfect passive voice 

Yes, the sentence “Your car has been stolen”
is grammatically correct.

Explanation:

This sentence is in the present perfect passive voice.
Let’s break it down:

1. Subject:
   “Your car” (singular noun)
2. Auxiliary
   verb: “has been” (present perfect form of “be”)
3. Past
   participle: “stolen” (past participle of “steal”)

Why is it passive?

• The
  subject (“Your car”) is receiving the action of being
  stolen.
• The
  doer (thief) is not mentioned, which is common in passive
  sentences.

Alternative Sentences:

• Active
  Voice: “Someone has stolen your car.”
• Passive
  Voice (Original Sentence): “Your car has been stolen.”

Both are correct, but the passive version emphasizes the car
rather than the thief.
