How do I identify sentences written in a passive voice with examples?

My friend was asked repeatedly to stop throwing rocks at passing cars.My friend was detained last week simply because he is Latino.My friend was detained last week by the police simply because he is Latino.Passive voiceWho does the action is last or is missing from the sentence.If you had to tell who the actor is, you'd have to add a "by" clause.The verb phrase is be + past participle. is used / was wanted / is being built.Active voiceThe actor (the subject of the sentence) is first.Who does the action is named.You won't need to add a "by" clause to explain who did the action.The verb is active. It will be (someone) kicked instead of was kicked by.So back to the example sentences:Passive: My friend was asked repeatedly to stop throwing rocks at passing cars.Passive: My friend was asked repeatedly to stop throwing rocks at passing cars by her mother.Active: Her mother repeatedly asked my friend to stop throwing rocks at passing cars.Passive: My friend was detained last week simply because he is Latino.Passive: My friend was detained last week by the police simply because he is Latino.Active: The police detained my friend last week simply because he is Latino.
