Passive Form
In passive sentences, the thing that receives the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing that doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. The passive form can be used if you think that the thing receiving the action is more important so it should be emphasized. Passive form can also be used if you don't know who is doing the action / if you do not want to mention the person who is doing the action.
Formation of Passive Form:
Thing receiving action + be + past participle of verb + by + thing doing action
Examples of passive voice are given below.
Tense + Example
simple present
Apple is eaten by Sara.
present progressive
Football match is being played by the students.
simple past
Food was cooked by the mother.
past progressive
I was being given medicines.
present perfect
Don't do it! You have been warned!
past perfect
I didn't realize that the door had been painted.
