Passive Voice

<br>
<br>

Here are some examples with most of the possible tenses:</p>


<br>
We can form the passive in any tense. In fact, conjugation of verbs in the passive tense is rather easy, as the main verb is always in past participle form and the auxiliary verb is always be. To form the required tense, we conjugate the auxiliary verb. So, for example:
<br>
<h2>Construction of the Passive Voice</h2>
<p>The structure of the <b>passive voice</b> is very simple:</p>
<p><span>subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main verb (past participle)</span></p>
<p>The main verb is <b>always</b> in its past participle form.</p>

•present simple: It is made
<br>
•present continuous: It is being made
<br>
•present perfect: It has been made
