Прочитайте примеры. Когда мы используем пассивный залог? Как он образуется?

Ответ:

We use the passive voice when we want to focus on the action or the object of the action, rather than on who performed the action. We also use it when the doer of the action is unknown, unimportant, or obvious.

(Мы используем пассивный залог, когда хотим сосредоточиться на действии или объекте действия, а не на том, кто совершил действие. Мы также используем его, когда исполнитель действия неизвестен, неважен или очевиден.)

It is formed with a form of the verb "to be" (e.g., is, am, are, was, were, has been, will be) followed by the past participle (the third form) of the main verb. Sometimes we can mention the doer of the action using "by" + the agent.

(Он образуется с помощью формы глагола "to be" (например, is, am, are, was, were, has been, will be), за которой следует причастие прошедшего времени (третья форма) основного глагола. Иногда мы можем упомянуть исполнителя действия, используя "by" + деятель.)
