perfect passive construction

[mbdittmar]

In a perfect passive verb construction, where you would have for example, "amatus est", are the two words ALWAYS adjacent, or can additional words/modifiers intervene? <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mark D

[Moerus]

Mostly they are together, not always.<br /><br />For exemple; Are you shaved? = Tonsusne es?

[mbdittmar]

<br />Are they ever reversed, eg, "es tonsus"?

[Moerus]

Yes that's possible; <br /><br />The same question, can also be; Esne tonsus?

Perfect participles are usually, for all intents and purposes, just adjectives. You can mix them all over the place so long as they agree with the various attributes of the noun which they modify.
