Moving on to the perfective aspect forms of the passive voice, Professor Muellner reviews the usual markers that distinguish the perfect system and explains how they integrate into the new passive endings introduced in this unit. Special circumstances do arise when dealing with the perfect passive forms, namely consonant clusters at the junction of stem and ending. This video briefly introduces the concept; further discussion can be found on pages 119-124 in the Hansen & Quinn textbook.
