Passive Voice - Uses
1. When we want to change the focus of the sentence

The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci
2. When who or what causes the action is unknown, unimportant, obvious or “people in general”

He was arrested (obvious agent, by the police)

My bike has been stolen (unknown agent)
The road is being repaired (unimportant agent)

The form can be obtained from the post office (people in general)
3. In formal writing instead of using someone/people/they

The brochure will be finished next month
