Passive Voice Explanation 3RD ESO

PASSIVE VOICE

1-Passive voice is used when we want to focus on the action and not WHO or WHAT does the action.

EXAMPLES:
WHO
Someone stole my bike (ACTIVE)
My bike was stolen (PASSIVE)

WHAT
This factory produces one hundred bikes per day (ACTIVE)
One hundred bikes per day are produced by this Factory (PASIVE)

2- We also have passive voice in Spanish
Alguien robó mi bici
Mi bici fue robada

3- STRUCTURE

SUBJECT+TO BE (IN THE RIGHT TENSE)+PAST PARTICIPLE (MAIN VERB) + BY + AGENT 

THE BIKE IS STOLEN  BY MY FRIEND (PRESENT SIMPLE PASSIVE)
THE BIKE IS BEING STOLEN BY MY FRIEND (PRESENT CONTINOUS PASSIVE)
THE BIKE WAS STOLEN    BY MY FRIEND (PAST CONTINOUS PASSIVE)
THE BIKE HAS BEEN STOLEN  BY MY FRIEND (PRESENT PERFECT PASSIVE)
THE BIKE WILL BE STOLEN   BY MY FRIEND (FUTURE TENSE PASSIVE)

4-We change an active sentence to passive and vice versa.
