The passage discusses the components and formation of passive voice sentences in different tenses as compared to active voice sentences.

A passive voice sentence consists of the object of the active sentence becoming the subject, followed by the verb 'to be' and the past participle of the main verb.

The passive voice is formed by using the verb 'to be' followed by the past participle of the main verb in the same tense, and including 'by' plus the subject of the active sentence.
