    The document discusses the simple past tense of active and passive voice in English. It provides examples of sentences in active voice, like "Liz called the teacher," and their equivalent passive voice forms, like "The teacher was called by Liz." The document notes that in passive voice constructions, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the subject becomes mentioned later using a preposition like "by." It also lists rules for forming simple past passive voice sentences, including using the appropriate form of "to be" as an auxiliary verb plus the past participle of the main verb. Examples are given to illustrate affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms of simple past passive voice.
