    This document outlines the structure of the passive voice in English and provides examples of how it is used with different verb tenses. The passive voice follows the structure of subject + be + past participle (+ by actor) and is formed by using some form of to be (is, are, was, were, etc.) along with the past participle of the main verb. Examples are given showing how the passive voice can be used to express the same events as in the active voice but with the subject receiving rather than performing the action.
