Passive Voice
Read the following pattern!

Subject + be + past participle + object/complement

Example:
I can be reached by phone or e-mail any time.

The active sentence:

You can reach me by phone or e-mail any time.

A sentence is passive when the subject is the receiver of the action.

When changing active sentences into passive ones, note the following:
1. The subject of an active sentence becomes the object of its passive form, usually preceded
by the preposition “by”.
2. The object of an active sentence becomes the subject of its passive form.
3. The verb is changed into be + past participle (Verb 3). The forms of “be” depend on the tenses
and subjects of the sentence, whether they are singular or plural.
4. You don’t have to mention the “by” agent when it’s not important.
