With modals and with infinitive forms, the passive is formed with 

be + past participle or have been


+ past participle. With future forms it is constructed with be + past participle or being + past
participle.
Future forms: will be / is going to be / is being / is to be + past participle

The cinema in the High Street is going to be converted into a dance hall.
 
Modals: can be / could be + past participle
 
We use these forms to talk about present and past ability or possibility in the passive voice:

year.
 
The road over the mountains might be closed if this rain turns to snow.
 
If you're all keen to make an early start, the meeting could be brought forward to nine o' clock. 
 
Modals: must be / ought to be / should be + past participle
 
We use these forms to talk about necessity and advisability in the passive voice:

Modals: must've been / should've been / could've been + past participle<
 
Note that when we are using modals to talk about most past situations in the passive voice, be + past
participle becomes have been + past participle:
 
The car was clearly defective and should never have been rented out.
 
That necklace is no longer in the shop window so it must have been sold.
 
He insisted on playing American football wearing only a T-shirt and shorts and could've
been seriously injured. 
"A rabbit might have eaten all my flowers."

Let's take a look at that form.

might (modal) + have + eaten (past participle verb)

We use the modal might (you can also use may or could) because they show that we are not
100% sure about what happened. We are speculating about past events (guessing what we
think happened). We then must use have followed by a past participle verb. We use 'must'
when we have a stronger opinion about what happened.

Here are some other examples:

"My neighbour could have stolen the flowers"

"The wind might have blown them all away."
