A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject of the sentence is acted upon by the verb, rather than performing the action. Passive voice sentences typically use a form of "to be" (such as "is," "was," "will be") along with the past participle of the main verb.
To form the active voice in simple past tense, you typically use the subject followed by the past tense of the verb. For example, "She cooked dinner." To form the passive voice in simple past tense, you use a form of 'be' followed by the past participle of the main verb. For example, "Dinner was cooked by her."
Active voice is when the subject performs the action stated by the verb ("The teacher graded the papers"). Passive voice is when the subject is acted upon by the verb ("The papers were graded by the teacher"). Converting from active to passive voice involves making the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence and using a form of "to be" + the past participle of the main verb.

The simple present tense can't be used in the passive voice. Simple present is the base form of a verb without the use of auxiliary verbs. Passive voice is created with a form of be (an auxiliary verb) and a past participle. Note: the previous sentence is an example of passive voice in the present tense. Is created is the passive verb.

(Subject-Verb-Direct Object)In the passive voice, the object and the subject switch positions and the verb is a form of "to be" + a past participle.The ball was thrown by Bobby.The subject can be left out of the sentence, as well. This is usually done when the subject is unknown or unimportant.The ball was thrown.
