Passive voice

I know the following sentence is passive voice. However, does it have any other 'tense' structure?

'Paintings have been dated as far back as 1800.'

Thanks Emotion: smile

Perhaps he's a man or an ogre.

If you refer to a newborn, I think you may say " It's not a boy"

I'd love to help you with the passive voice, but this sentence is quite unintelligible. Can you work on it a bit? Possible meanings: do you speak English? Do you teach in English? Reminder: to change a sentence to the passive voice, it must have a subject and a direct object. I shut the door. They broke the rules. She answered all the questions.
