Passive Voice
Passive voice is a grammatical construction (grammatical form) where the subject in the sentence or clause does not take action, but instead accept the action or actionable by another agent either mentioned or not. Conversely, the active construction, subject to the sentence or clause relates directly to verb to act as the agent of the action. Active sentence can be transformed into passive, but only transitive verb (has a direct object) that can be enforced so.
Active voice ( active voice) is the subject of the sentence in which it does the job , the passive voice ( passive voice ) is the subject of the sentence in which the subject of work by the object of the sentence.
example :
• Active Voice : We fertilize the soil every 6 months
• Passive Voice : The soil is fertilized by us every 6 months

From this example we can see that :
1 . Object of the active voice ( the soil became the subject of a passive voice .
2 . The subject of the active voice ( we ) became the object of a passive voice . Note also that there is a change of subject pronoun ' we ' being the object pronoun ' us '
3 . Verb 1 ( fertilize ) the active voice into a verb 3 ( fertilized ) in the passive voice .
4 . He added that be ' is ' in front of the verb 3 . Antecedent be used is dependent on the subject of passive voice and tenses are used .
5 . He added the word ' By ' behind verb 3 . However , if the object of the passive voice is not important or not known , the object usually are not presented as well as the word ' by ' .
6.  Especially for progressive sentences (present, past, past perfect, future, past and future past future continuous, it is necessary to add 'being' in front of the verb 3). If it is not in add 'being', his tenses will change, not the progressive / continuous again.
