the passive voice is a grammatical voice in which the subject receives the action of a transitive verb. Passive voice emphasizes the process rather than who is performing the action. Passive (or passive verb) refers more generally to verbs using this construction and the passages in which they are used. In English, a passive verb is periphrastic; that is, it does not have a one-word form, but consists of an auxiliary verb plus the past participle of the transitive verb. The auxiliary verb usually is a form of the verb to be, but other auxiliary verbs, such as get, are sometimes used. The passive voice can be used in any number of tenses. The process of changing an active verb into a passive one is called passivization. Passivization is a valence-decreasing process, and it is sometimes referred to as a detranzitivizing process, because it changes transitive verbs into intransitives.
The passive voice applies to a verb and its clause; the compound nominal predicate is the verb and its qualifiers which may be in the active or passive voice.

A quasi-passive verb is a verb form that resembles a passive construction but does not actually involve a passive voice. It often consists of an intransitive verb followed by a subject complement that appears to be the object of the action. Examples include "The bread smells delicious" and "The flowers look beautiful."

The two voices of a verb are active voice and passive voice. In active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb, while in passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb.
Verbs do not have passive forms, verbs combine with beverbs to form passive verb phrases. Passive verb phrases are formed with - be + past participle.For ring (rang is the past form of ring) the past participle is rung so a passive verb phrase could be - is rung, are rung, was rung, were rung, was being rung.
A verb is said to be in the passive voice when the subject of the sentence is acted upon by the verb, rather than performing the action. In passive voice constructions, the focus is on the recipient of the action rather than the doer. A common indicator of passive voice is the inclusion of a form of "be" (e.g., is, was, were) with the past participle of the main verb.
