How to use present perfect & the passive? Why ed instead of the ing form? 👀👀

... the language or the languages a person has been exposed to from birth.

Can you use the passive also in other tenses?

Answer

The passive is always formed with the verb 'be' in the appropriate tense + the past participle of the verb

Active voice - His parents have exposed him to many languages.

The verb 'expose' is in present perfect tense.
To make passive, use the verb 'be' in that same tense + the past participle of the verb.

'Be' in present perfect = have/has been.
Past participle of 'expose' = exposed.

Passive voice - He has been exposed to many languages.

Any tense can be passive voice.

Answer

You can use the passive with any tense.  
- is exposed to
- was exposed to
- will be exposed to
- has been exposed to
- had been exposed to
- will have been exposed to

You use -ed because that's simply how you form passives: [to be] + [verb]-ed.  Passives are never formed with -ing.
