In other words, the subject receives the action, and the object does the action.

The passive voice is a little trickier to identify, as it uses more words than the active voice. The basic structure is as follows:

Subject (recipient) → Verb (past participle of "to be" form) → Object (doer)

Note that the object here is always preceded by the word "by."

Additionally, the verb takes its "to be" form (meaning it’s preceded by "is/are" for the present tense and "was/were" for the past tense) and is put in the past participle (e.g., "eaten" for the verb "eat" or "given" for the verb "give").

Here’s an example of a sentence using the passive voice:


The ice cream was bought by the little girl.
