	Description:		The passive voice is a tricky grammar subject for many English language learners. When we use the active voice, the subject does the action ("I ate an apple."). However, in the passive voice, the focus of the sentence switches, and the subject receives the action. We use the verb to be and the past participle form of the main verb to form the sentence ("The apple was eaten (by me).") We use passive voice when the doer of the action is obvious, unimportant, or unknown. If we want to say who did the action, we can use the preposition 'by'.
