5. STRUCTURING In English, the passive voice is composed of two main elements: the corresponding form of the verb “to be” followed by the past participle. Switching to the passive voice in English will make your texts more formal. The structure of the passive voice is as follows: Direct object + verb 'to be' + past participle + by + subject

6. RULES Passive Subject: The subject of the passive sentence is the one receiving the action. It is placed at the beginning or end of the sentence, depending on the emphasis desired. "To be" Verb in the Correct Tense: The "to be" verb is used as an auxiliary followed by the past participle of the main verb to form the passive voice. The tense of the "to be" verb adjusts to the tense of the main verb in the active voice. Past Participle of the Main Verb: The past participle of the main verb is used after the "to be" verb to complete the formation of the passive voice. Agent (Optional): If you want to specify who performs the action, the preposition "by" is used followed by the agent of the action (the one performing the action). .
