It is not the choice of verb, but the way the verb is used that makes a sentence passive. For example, here is a sentence in the active voice: I ate a Pizza. Here is the same sentence in a passive voice: A pizza was eaten. Note that the verb to eat appears in both versions.
Passive verb phrases are formed with - be + past participle.
The pizza was eaten last night. The milk is keptin the fridge. The new library is being built.
