The document discusses passive voice. It defines passive voice as using "to be" plus the past participle of the verb, and having the subject receive the action. It notes that passive voice usually uses "by" and most verbs are not followed by an object. Examples are given of active versus passive sentences. Intransitive verbs and verbs followed by objects of prepositions cannot be changed to passive. The use of "by" and "with" in passive sentences is also covered.
