Quick Memory Rule
- Present / Future Modal Passive: Always use {Modal} + {be} + V_3 (can be done, should be done, must be done).
- Past Modal Passive: Always use {Modal} + {have been} + V_3 (should have been done, could have been done).
- Questions: Put the Modal first — never combine it with Is/Are/Was ({Can} + {Object} + {be} + V_3?).
