The passive voice is a grammatical structure where the subject receives the action of the verb, rather than performing it. It's formed using a form of the verb "be" (e.g., is, are, was, were, being, been) followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Focus on the Action:
The passive voice can be used to highlight the action itself, rather than the person or thing performing it.
Examples of Passive Voice:
Active: The cat chased the mouse.
Passive: The mouse was chased by the cat.
Active: She wrote the letter.
Passive: The letter was written by her.
Active: They built the house.
Passive: The house was built by them.
