The Passive Voice

The Passive Voice 
The Passive Voice is a type of a grammatical voice in which the subject is acted upon by the verb. In passive voice sentences, the subject is the receiver of the action.Passive voice verbs are always preceded by the auxiliary verb "be" and are in their past participle forms. While the receiver of the action comes before the verb, the person or thing performing the action (agent) comes after the verb and preceded by the preposition "by" to form a prepositional phrase.
