Our has no bearing over whether a sentence is active or passive. It can be used in both. Active voice: A nice couple bought our house. Passive voice: Our house has been bought by a nice couple.
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.
You change passive voice to active voice by making the actor(s) the subject of the sentence, e.g., "the question was asked by the user" (passive) versus, "the user asked the question" (active).
To change an active voice sentence to passive voice, move the object of the active sentence to the beginning of the passive sentence and include the appropriate form of the verb "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb to create the passive construction. For example, "The company launched a new product" in active voice becomes "A new product was launched by the company" in passive voice.

The sentence "Sentences can be written in active and passive voices" is a declarative sentence written in passive voice.

No this sentence is not passive voice.
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."
The simple present tense can't be used in the passive voice. Simple present is the base form of a verb without the use of auxiliary verbs. Passive voice is created with a form of be (an auxiliary verb) and a past participle. Note: the previous sentence is an example of passive voice in the present tense. Is created is the passive verb.
