No this sentence is not passive voice.
No, "He is a boy" is not in passive voice. Passive voice involves rearranging the sentence to emphasize the receiver of the action rather than the doer, which would change the sentence to something like "The boy is being called."
In passive voice, "Our" can be used as the subject of a sentence when the active voice sentence is intransitive. For example, in active voice: "We completed the project." In passive voice: "The project was completed by us."
To change passive voice to active voice, identify the object of the passive sentence and make it the subject of the active sentence. Then, identify the subject of the passive sentence and make it the object of the active sentence. Finally, rewrite the sentence using the active verb form. For example, "The book was read by John" (passive) can be changed to "John read the book" (active).
