Unit 5 

Passive Voice: the active voice is where we focus the action of the verb on the subject. But when we want to give more importance to the action and not to who has carried it out, we use the passive voice.

Examples:

The active voice:  I've tied all of the cookies.

The passive voice: All of the cookies were eaten.

The passive voice is formed with the auxiliary verb "to be" and the past participle of the verb.

Subject + auxiliary verb (to be) + past participle ...
