We signed a binding contract last year and it has been renewed recently.

My question is: Is it Active or Passive Voice?

He allowed the goods to be sent/to be send by air.

My question is: Why 'to be sent', not 'to be send'? Shouldn't the infinitive be in Present Simple?

1-Regarding the first question "it has been renewed", It's Present Perfect Passive Voice. 2- Regarding the second question, only "to be sent" is correct. "Be" is a verb to be.
