W14 - Passive Voice

Passive voice focuses on the object of a sentence rather than the subject. It uses a form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb. When using passive voice, the subject may sometimes be omitted or mentioned later in the sentence. Correct use requires identifying the past participle form of regular and irregular verbs and using the appropriate form of the verb "to be".
