    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.

    TenseFormExample
    Present Simpleam / is / are + doneMy room is cleaned every day.
    Past Simplewas / were + doneTim was invited to the party.
    Present Continuousam / is / are being + doneThe clothes are being washed now.
    Past Continuouswas / were being + doneThe roof was being fixed.
    Present Perfecthave / has been + doneThe report has already been prepared.
    Past Perfecthad been + doneThe story had been published.
    Future Simplewill be + doneThe text will be copied.
    be going toam / is / are going to be + doneA new car is going to be bought.
    Modal verbscan / should / must be + doneThe 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.
