Passive Voice.

The passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than subject. This means that the subject is either less important than the action itself or that we do not know who or what the subject is.

We form the passive with the verb to be and the past participle of the main verb.
 
Remember the passive verb forms:
