How It´s made
  • The passive voice is used in order to focus in the action rather than the author of it . It is formed by using the "to be " verb,  also, the  participle of verbs are used.

 

Example:

 

             Active      jorge makes tea  

Present

             Passive     Tea is made by Jorge  

 

             Active      Maria made tea

Past

             Passive     Tea was made by Maria
