In a passive voice sentence, the verb acts upon the subject (as opposed to active voice when the subject performs the action).
To form the passive voice, one needs any form of the "to be" verb + a past participle.
An example of an active voice sentence:
- Bobby threw the ball. (Subject-Verb-Direct Object)
In the passive voice, the object and the subject switch positions and the verb is a form of "to be" + a past participle.
- The ball was thrown by Bobby.
The subject can be left out of the sentence, as well. This is usually done when the subject is unknown or unimportant.
- The ball was thrown.
