Used 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.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who
did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have
made a mistake.).
FORM OF PASSIVE
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)
