Grammar Breakdown
We use the passive voice when we want to shift the focus of the sentence.

The windows were broken. (passive – focus on the windows)
Someone broke the windows. (active – focus on someone)

The passive is commonly used:

  • when we don’t want to mention who did the action (maybe we don’t know, it’s obvious, or we prefer not to say)

  • when starting with the most important or logical part of the sentence sounds better

  • in formal or academic contexts

How to Form the Passive
The passive is created by using the verb "to be" + the past participle. The sentence begins with the object of the active sentence.

The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand.
