In the active-voice sentence "I should kill you," the receiver follows the verb. In the passive-voice sentence "You should be killed," the receiver precedes the verb. The difference between active and passive voice is merely the presence of the actor. In passive voice, the actor disappears.
To change a sentence from active to passive voice, move the object of the active sentence to the subject position in the passive sentence and add a form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb. For example, "I ate the cake" in active voice becomes "The cake was eaten by me" in passive voice.
The passive voice applies to a verb and its clause; the compound nominal predicate is the verb and its qualifiers which may be in the active or passive voice.
