Put the sentences in the active voice
We use the passive
voice when we don’t
know who did the
action or the action
itself in more
important
The passive voice is less usual than the active voice But sometimes a statement
in passive is more polite than in active
voice
The passive is formed with the verb to be and the past participle of the main verb
Present Simple am / is / are + past participle The office is cleaned every day.
Past Simple was / were + past participle The office was cleaned at 5 o’clock.
Present Perfect have / has been + past participle The office has already been cleaned.
Future Simple will be + past participle The office will be cleaned tonight.
