SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE
In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and
the thing doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use
the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the action is more important or should
be emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing the
action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.
