The document explains how to form the passive voice in English. It states that the passive voice focuses on the action rather than the person performing the action. It describes how to transform sentences from active to passive voice by making the direct object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence and using "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. Various examples are given of transforming verb tenses such as present simple, past simple, present perfect, and modal verbs into the passive voice.

1. HOW TO MAKE THE
PASIVE

2. • When we want to give more importance to the
action instead of the person who performs it
we use the passive voice.

3. To transform an active sentence to passive we consider the following
points
• -The subject of a verb in passive voice corresponds to
the direct object of a verb in active voice.
• -The passive voice is formed using the verb “to be” +
the main verb participle (Past Participle)
• -The subject of the main sentence becomes the
complement agent of the passive.
• -to say who person does the action we use “by”
