Use of Passive
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.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know,
however, who did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following
example shows:
Form of Passive
