A sentence is in the passive voice, on the other hand, when the subject is acted on by the verb. The passive voice is always constructed with a conjugated form of to be plus the verb's past participle. Doing this usually generates a preposition as well.

Explanation:
How to form a passive sentence
1. Firstly, you need to make the object (from the active sentence) into the new subject.
2. Then you make the verb passive.
Put the verb “to be” into the same tense as the verb in the active sentence. For example, in the sentence “John helped me”, “helped” is the past tense. Therefore, you need the past simple tense of the verb “to be”, which is “was” or “were”.
3. Then add the past participle of the verb. For example “gave” – “given”, “help” – “helped”
“I was helped by John.”
“I was given a prescription by the doctor.”
4. If necessary, you can say who did the action. To do this, add “by” at the end of your sentence.
