The same way it is formed in English - Il a été agressé - He was attacked.

However, the French tend to try to avoid using the passive voice, instead preferring to use the impersonal pronoun on. So using the above example: On l'a agressé.

The French passive voice is formed using the verb "รชtre" in the appropriate tense + the past participle of the main verb + "par" + the agent (doer of the action). For example, "La lettre est รฉcrite par Pierre" (The letter is written by Pierre).

Passive voice is created with a form of be (an auxiliary verb) and a past participle. Note: the previous sentence is an example of passive voice in the present tense. Is created is the passive verb.

How can you change should active voice to passive voice?

You can't: there is no passive form of this verb--just as there is no passive form of the verb "to go". Why? Because in order to have a passive voice, the verb in question must be transitive: i.e., take an object. You can't should a thing, or go a thing. But you can, for instance, stroke a thing. So you can say that the thing is/was stroked--passive.
