Use the Passive Voice when the action is more important than who does it, or when the doer is unknown or obvious.
Object + be (in appropriate tense) + past participle. Example: The book was written by Jane Austen.
When the doer is unknown ('My wallet was stolen'), obvious ('He was arrested'), or when the focus is on the action.
You can include who did it with 'by'. Often omitted if unimportant.
Passive works in any tense: present (is done), past (was done), perfect (has been done), future (will be done), modal (can be done).
