1. We have painted our house green.
2. Our house has been painted green.
3. Our house is painted green.
( #1 is an active voice sentence. yes
#2 is a passive voice sentence of #1. yes
In #2, action is stressed.
#3 is a passive voice sentence of #1. In #3, state is stressed. Is this explanation correct?) Both 2 and 3 are passive voice sentences, and I see no difference except the specific verb tenses.#2 is in the present perfect, passive, and #3 is in the simple present, passive.
4. He has closed the shop.
5. The shop has been closed by him.
6. The shop is closed by him.
( #4 is an active voice sentence. yes
#5 is a passive voice sentence of #4. yes
In #5, action is stressed. #6 is a passive voice sentence of #4. In #6, state is stressed. Is this explanation correct?)
Again, in sentences 5 and 6, I see no difference (both are passive) except for the specific verb tenses.
