The form and the explanation of Passive :
Present Simple, Present Continuous, Past Simple, Past Continuous
Passive Voice The passive forms of a verb are created by combining a form of the “to be verb” with
the passive participle of the main verb. Other helping verbs are also sometimes present:
”The measure could have been killed in committee.” The passive can be used, also, in
various tenses.

Present Simple In the present simple, the passive is: am / is / are + past participle (3rd form of the
verb). The past participle always stays the same. Only the form of be changes.

Present Continuous The structure for the present continuous passive is: subject + is/are + BEING + the past
participle. Note that the person who is fixing the car is not mentioned in the sentence
“My car is being fixed.” Leaving out the person or thing doing the action is common in
passive statements.

Past Simple The past simple passive is formed by using 'was' or 'were' plus the past participle. The
passive is used when the person or thing that did the action is unknown, unimportant or
not the focus of our interest. We use 'by' with the passive if we want to identify who or
what did the action.

Past Continuous So, the structure for past continuous passive is: subject + was or were + BEING + past
participle. In the continuous passive, the word “being” is always present – no matter
what the verb tense is. Another place we often see the continuous passive is in news
reporting.
