When to Use Passive Voice
Use the passive voice in the following situations:

You do not know or do not want to reveal the performer of an
action.

You want to emphasize the receiver of an action.

You want to emphasize who does the action (the doer)
BASIC RULES
Basic rules in forming the passive:
1. The object of an active sentence  the subject
of the passive sentence.
2. Only transitive verbs (verbs that are followed by
an object) are used in the passive.
Impossible to use in the passive: happen, sleep,
come, seem.
- She sleeps on the sofa.
Form of Passive Voice Verbs
 The passive voice requires a "double verb" and
will always consist:
TO BE + PAST PARTICIPLE (Verb 3).
 Example:
Active: John baked the bread.
Passive: The bread was baked by John.
WAS is a form of the verb “be”
BAKED is the past participle of BAKE
Form of Passive Voice Verbs
 Be familiar with the forms of "to be“:
am, is, are, be
was, were
being
been
 Be familiar with the Past Participle Form
