Use of Passive:

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.

Form of Passive:

Subject (the Object in active) + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs) + Object (the Subject in active)

When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:

the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle).

the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped).
