To turn a sentence from the active voice into the passive voice, we must follow four steps which
are:
1) The direct/indirect object becomes the subject of the new sentence.
2) The verb to be has the form/tense of the main verb.
3) The main verb is put into the past participle form.
4) The old subject becomes an agent, introduced by “by”.
