How to make the Passive in English

We make the passive by putting the verb 'to be' into whatever tense we need and then adding the past participle. For regular verbs, we make the past participle by adding 'ed' to the infinitive. So play becomes played.

Tense	Active	Passive
present simple	I make a cake.	A cake is made (by me).
present continuous	I am making a cake.	A cake is being made (by me).
past simple	I made a cake.	A cake was made (by me).
past continuous	I was making a cake.	A cake was being made (by me).
present perfect	I have made a cake.	A cake has been made (by me).
pres. perf. continuous	I have been making a cake.	A cake has been being made (by me).
past perfect	I had made a cake.	A cake had been made (by me).
future simple	I will make a cake.	A cake will be made (by me).
future perfect	I will have made a cake.	A cake will have been made (by me

Verbs with two objects
Some verbs that have two objects can make two different active sentences, and so two different passive sentences too:

Give

• Active: He gave me the book / He gave the book to me.

You can choose either of the two objects to be the subject of the passive sentence.

• Passive: I was given the book (by him)/ The book was given to me (by him).

Other verbs like this are: ask, offer, teach, tell, lend, promise, sell, throw. 

The passive voice can also be used with modals

Present modals

Active	The boys can eat the pie
Passive	The pie can be eaten by the boys     modal verb + be + participle

Past modals

Active	The boys could have eaten the pie
Passive	The pie could have been eaten by the boys  modal verb + have been + participle

- El agente de la pasiva es el sujeto de la activa

  Ej: A dentist invented the electric chair - (Passive) The electric chair was invented by a dentist

           Sujeto                                                                                                                     Agente

This story happened to me about five years ago and it's probably the worst thing that's ever happened to me while driving a car. I had bought my car the week before and I was still feeling very excited about it. It didn't have air conditioning but that didn't matter to me because it was my first ever car! I knew that my best friend Penny had always wanted to visit a picturesque little village in the mountains about 150 kilometres from where we live, so I called her and told her that I would taker her there the following day. It was a perfect, warm spring day. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. While I was driving and we were chatting, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was a wasp which had flown into the car! Penny and I both tried to kill the wasp which was buzzing around inside the car. But the wasp suddenly disappeared. Then I felt a pain in my arm: the wasp had stung me! I forgot that I was driving and BANG!. I crashed into the car in front of us. Nobody was hurt but that was the end of our day out and of my car.
