English 「is spoken」 in many countries.
點解前面用「is」,後面個verb要用完成式「spoken」??
更新1:

點解要用被動式既?

呢句係 passive voice。
passive voice 就係將接受動作o既object作為句子開頭。用法:
1.唔知件事邊個做 e.g. The man is killed!
2.邊個做唔重要/唔講都知 e.g. The fine for smoking has been increased.
3.唔想講邊個做 e.g. Mom, the window has been b roken...
結構一定係:
接受動作o既受詞 + (auxiliary verb - have/can/is/should.. .) + be (is/am/are/was/were/ being/been) + past participle
e.g. X has borrowed the book. => The book has been borrowed.
呢句係 present perfect tense,注意雖然有 past participle,呢句冇變 tense(明明同active voice講緊同一件事,tense點會變?)。唔好再諗轉tense啦!

最緊要留意加be呢個部份。be出現係用返be定係其他(is/am/are/was/were/ being/been) ,就睇佢後面o個個動詞。呢句borrowed係past participle,be就用past participle = been。
再一例子,本來係 is doing就變 is being done,is doing係現在進行式,變passive voice後,is being就一樣係現在進行式,本來個doing就乜都唔理轉做過去分詞 done => is being done。搞掂。

"點解前面用「is」,後面個verb要用完成式「spoken」?? " 其實這是被動式,完全跟時間 (TENSE) 無關。

是人去講英文,又或者可以咁講英文 lee種語言係被人們去溝通用既。如果要講TENSE,這句句子是用了現在式 present tense,因為用了 "is"。而講合理程度,一定用present tense,因為每日都有好多國家既人用英文去溝通。

is spoken 是 passive voice, 有被動的意思
english 是三生單數, 故用 is
spoken 是past participle, 逢用passive voice 的都要有past participle
