advance - passive

[YourSunlight]

Hello!

Does the passive form of the verb "advance" exist?
If we want to emphasize the agent of the action.


Like: The technology has been advanced (by him).

Yes, advance is used in the passive.

Thank you!!

In most cases, if you can use the verb transitively (he has advanced science), you can use it passively (science has been advanced by him).

I expect there are exceptions.
