Definition: In traditional grammar, a verb form (or voice) in which the grammatical subject receives the verb's action.
Example: "A good time was had by all." Contrast with active voice.
The most common form of the passive in English is the short passive or agentless passive: a construction in which the agent (that is, the performer of an action) is not identified.
Example: "Mistakes were made." (In a long passive, the object of the verb in an active sentence becomes the subject.) See the discussion of the passive gradient in Examples and Observations, below.
The passive voice is formed by using the appropriate form of the verb to be (for example, is) and a past participle (for example, formed). Also see the discussion of the "get"-passive in Examples and Observations, below.
Though style guides often discourage use of the passive, the construction can be quite useful, especially when the performer of an action is unknown or unimportant.
The Formula Of Passive Voice is
S V O xyz (avtive)
*S to be V3 xyz (passive)
S: subject V: Verb O:object xyz:etc
*S: object in the active construction is changed to be subject
There are five Be in the passive voice
