In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object. Most
sentences are active.
[Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action]
Examples:

The professor teaches the students

Subject doing the action verb Object receiving the action

John washes the dishes

Subject doing the action verb Object receiving the action

Passive Form
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.
[Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing action]
Examples:

The students are taught by the teacher

Subject receiving the action passive verb doing action

The dishes are washed by John

Subject receiving the action passive verb doing action
