Polish Impersonal Past Tense
Sometimes, verbs are used to express past actions, but no clear subject is used.
Powiedziano mu, że jest przystojny.
(He was told, that he is handsome)
Zawieziono go.
(He was brought).
These are created in Polish by getting the passive participle and replacing the y with an o. Both imperfective and perfective verbs are used.
