Rule: Passive Voice ShowHide
The passive puts the focus on the action and on what it happens to, not on who does it. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the verb becomes be + 3rd form. Only be changes with the tense.
| Tense | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Present Simple | am / is / are + done | My room is cleaned every day. |
| Past Simple | was / were + done | Tim was invited to the party. |
| Present Continuous | am / is / are being + done | The clothes are being washed now. |
| Past Continuous | was / were being + done | The roof was being fixed. |
| Present Perfect | have / has been + done | The report has already been prepared. |
| Past Perfect | had been + done | The story had been published. |
| Future Simple | will be + done | The text will be copied. |
| be going to | am / is / are going to be + done | A new car is going to be bought. |
| Modal verbs | can / should / must be + done | The room should be decorated. |
Add by + the doer only when it matters: Sandwiches will be brought by Bill. Leave it out when it's obvious or unknown: Flowers had been stolen from my garden.
