The sentence, “My pen has been stolen.” is in passive voice. The whom who did it is not identified. There could be (but doesn’t require) a by after stolen.

For example, “My pen has been stolen by that shady character over there.”

In passive voice, the subject (the pen) is on the receiving end of the action (being stolen). There is always a by, whether stated or unstated. A trick to use to help you identify passive voice is to add “by zombies” after the verb. If it works, then the sentence is in passive voice.

In active voice, the subject is doing the action, as in “I stole that pen.”

Passive voice is generally frowned upon. Active voice sentences are stronger. There are times when passive voice is needed. If the actor (the by) cannot be identified, you need passive voice. Ex.: “The ice cream was eaten and is all gone.” The second instance when passive voice is needed is if the attention should be on the noun/pronoun that received the action. Ex.: “The victim had been shot in the heart.” The deed and the victim, in this case, are most important at the moment.

The format of the verb for passive voice is easily recognizable: “be” verb + a past

participle.

Ex.: was lost, had been removed, will have been suspended.

hope this will make your concepts more clear
