Points to remember :

• Whenever we change the active voice to passive voice form, the place of subject and object interchange.

In active voice, format is like :

⇒ Subject + Verb + Object

In passive voice, format is like :

⇒ Object + Verb + by + Subject

• It is always used V₃ (past participle) when the active voice is changed to passive voice.

• If the sentence is in continuous tense (present continuous, past continuous, future continuous) , then "being" is applied when active voice is converted to passive voice.

• If the sentence is in perfect tense (present perfect, past perfect, future perfect) , then "been" is applied when active voice is converted to passive voice.
