The document discusses passive voice and how to identify and form passive sentences. It provides examples of active sentences and their passive equivalents to demonstrate how the subject and object are changed in passive constructions. The key aspects covered are: - Passive voice focuses on the action rather than the doer and is sometimes more polite. - To form passive, use the form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb and make the original object the subject. - Various tenses like simple present, past, future etc. are discussed along with their passive forms. - Practice exercises with answers are provided to help understand passive voice better.

2.  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.
Example: My bike was stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my
bike was stolen. We do not know, however, who did it.
 Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than
active voice, as the following example shows:
Example: A mistake was made.
In this case, the focus on the fact that a mistake was
made, but we do not blame anyone (e.g. You have
made a mistake.).

3.  Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd
column of irregular verbs)
Example: A letter was written.
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note
the following:
 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)
 Usually using ‘by’

4.  Based of all the passive voice tenses, we get
the formula. That is :
Subject + be + Verb3 + by + Object + modifier
Example: A letter was written.
A letter is written by me yesterday
