It can have a two part verb but it doesn't have to.
In an active sentence we can see who or what does the action of the verb:
The cat chased the mouse. -- cat is the subject, chased is the verb and mouse is the object. The cat does the action, chase.
In this next sentence we don't know who or what does the action:
The mouse was chased. -- was chased is the verb.
This sentence is a passive sentence.
