This document discusses how to form and use the passive voice in English. It explains that the passive is formed with the verb 'be' and the past participle. It provides examples of passive forms across different tenses. The passive is used when the subject is less important than the action, when mentioning who performed the action, in more formal writing, and with verbs that can take two objects. Certain verbs like 'have' are used to express when work is done for someone. The passive is also common in news reports using verbs like 'believe' and 'expect'.
