15. What is the “stative passive”? Give examples.

(употребляется с существительными и даёт характеристику предмету или употребляется как причастие) When the passive form expresses an existing state rather than an action, it is called the "stative passive."

(a)The door is old. (b) The door is green. ( c ) The door is locked.	In (a) and (b): old and green are adjectives. They describe the door. In (c): locked is a past partici­ple. It is used as an adjective. It describes the door.
(d) I locked the door five minutes ago. , ( e ) The door was locked by me five minutes ago. ( f) Now the door is locked.	The passive form may be used to describe an ex­isting situation or state, as in (f) and (i). No action is taking place. The action happened be­fore.
(g) Ann broke the window. (h) The window was broken by Ann. ( i ) Now the window is broken.	When the passive form expresses an existing state rather than an action, it is called the "stative passive."
( j ) I am interested in Chinese art. (k) He is satisfied with his job. '(l) Ann is married to Alex.	Often stative passive verbs are followed by a preposition other than by.
(m) I don't know where I am. I am lost. (n) I can't find my purse. It ts gone. (o) I am finished with my work . (p ) I am done with my work.	(m) - (p) are examples of idiomatic usage of the passive form. These sentences have no equivalent active sentences.

19. What is a “Sequence of Tenses”?

The Sequence of Tenses is the certain dependence of the tense of the verb in subordinate clause on that all the verb in the principal clause.

If the verb in the principal clause is in one of the past tenses then a past tense or future-in-the-past must be used in a subordinate clause.

This rule is generally observed in object clauses.

I thought you had better sense (Я думал у тебя больше здравого смысла)

Note: it is implied in the rule of The Sequence of Tenses that if a present or future time is used in the principal clause, any tense required by the sense can be used in a subordinate clause
