EXPLANATION

Passive voice is used to focus on the recipient of the verb and the action rather than the subject/performer of action. The main construction of passive voice is the combination of auxiliary BE and the past participle.

The steps how to change the active voice to the passive voice are:

pay attention to the verb form whether it's transitive or not;
the object of active voice is converted into the subject of passive voice. Meanwhile, the subject of active voice is converted into the object of passive voice accompanied with the "by" preposition or sometimes it's omitted;
all of the verbs are changed into the past participle (V³).
