The passive voice must have the verb 'to be' in the correct tense plus the past participle of the main verb. Here are some examples:
I do (active)/it is done (passive)
I did (active)/it was done (passive)
I am doing (active)/it is being done (passive)
I was doing (active)/it was being done (passive)
and so on
