• Passive Voice

• 
• We use passive voice when the focus of a sentence is on the object of a sentence and not the action. In passive voice, the receiver of the action (the direct object*) is the subject of the sentence. 

  
  

  subject + be + past participle

• Mail is sent at the post office.	Sushi is eaten in Japan.
  The packages are wrapped in silver paper.	The floors are washed every day.

• *Remember! Verbs can be transitive or intransitive.
  

  Intransitive verbs do not have a direct object. Because the passive voice focuses on the object of a sentence, ALL verbs in the passive voice are transitive.
