1. HOW IT’S MADE... The Passive Voice

2. Passive voice is used to superimpose/emphasise the object over the subject; To give protagonism to the action and not to the "actor". Or when the subject is not known.

3. We can form this grammatical voice following the next scheme: Subject + auxiliary verb "to be" + Past participle

4. Examples for different verb tenses starting from the active sentence “I write a note”:

5. Present Simple: The note + is + written (by me)

6. Past Simple The note + was + written (by me)

7. Present Perfect: The note has been written

8. Past Perfect Simple: The note had been written

9. Future with will: The note will be written

10. Going to future: The note is going to be written

11. To transform from active to passive we need to exchange the subject to the object. Add the auxiliary verb “to be” in the same verbal tense and replace the main verb by its past participle.
