Converting present perfect negative active to passive maintains tense and negation. Original: “They have not read.” Passive: “The book has not been read by them.” Structure: subject (book) + has + not + been + past participle (read). The negative “not” remains after the auxiliary. Present perfect passive negative indicates that reading has not occurred up to the present, emphasizing the book’s unread status.
