Because the subject is being "acted upon" (or is passive), such sentences are said to be in the passive voice.

A sentence 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. Passive voice sentences typically use a form of "to be" (such as "is," "was," "will be") along with the past participle of the main verb.
Active voice is when the subject of a sentence does the action. Passive voice is when the subject of a sentence receives the action. A sentence that has passive voice usually has the word by in it and the verb has a form of be in it and is in the past tense.
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."
Active voice is when the subject of the sentence performs the action, while passive voice is when the subject receives the action. In active voice, the sentence structure is subject-verb-object, while in passive voice it is object-verb-subject. It is generally recommended to use active voice for clearer and more direct communication.
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).
The sentence "Sentences can be written in active and passive voices" is a declarative sentence written in passive voice.

This sentence can't be written in passive voice. If the verb in the sentence does not have an object, you can't make the sentence passive.

In this sentence, the subject is "gardener" and the object is 'garden."
