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.
TenseActivePassive
present simplemake a cake.A cake is made (by me).
present continuousam making a cake.A cake is being made (by me).
past simplemade a cake.A cake was made (by me).
past continuouswas making a cake.A cake was being made (by me).
present perfecthave made a cake.A cake has been made (by me).
pres. perf. continuoushave been making a cake.A cake has been being made (by me).
past perfecthad made a cake.A cake had been made (by me).
future simplewill make a cake.A cake will be made (by me).
future perfectwill 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
ActiveThe boys can eat the pie
PassiveThe pie can be eaten by the boys     modal verb + be + participle
Past modals
ActiveThe boys could have eaten the pie
PassiveThe 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
