Regarding a use of "been" grammar

Sentence: "The Bible part in that article has been taken from Mr. Perry's book"

My question: I often get confuse regarding the use of "been" grammar. For example, in the above sentence I'm not sure "is been" will come or "has been". Can you explain some difference between them? In which condition to use them etc., etc.,?

Thanks and regards Emotion: smile

Hi Razer

You are asking about the perfect tense. The helping verb is always "have."

He has been a good friend. (Present perfect of "be")
He has been bitten by a mad dog. (Present perfect passive voice of "bite.")
He had been bitten before. (Past perfect passive voice of "bite.")
By the end of year, over a million turkeys will have been eat
