    The passive voice is used to focus on the person or thing affected by the action rather than the performer of the action. The document provides the structure of the passive voice for present simple, past simple, perfect, and future tenses. Across tenses, the passive voice structures place the affected noun or object before the verb and include "to be" plus the past participle form of the main verb, followed by "by" and the performer of the action.
