La voz pasiva se usa para enfatizar un producto, o una obra, o una acción. Lo que nos importa es la acción en sí misma, y no tanto quién la realizó. E. g.
Voz activa: Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.
Voz pasiva: The Mona Lisa was painted by Da Vinci.
3
Hay tres condiciones importantes que se tienen que cumplir para que una oración esté en voz pasiva:
1. Siempre debe incluir el verbo be.
2. El verbo principal siempre debe estar en pasado participio.
3. Los verbos que se pueden usar en la voz pasiva son transitivos, es decir, son verbos que afectan a un objeto o a un sujeto.
4
Voz activa, verbo intransitivo: She ran in the park yesterday.
Esta oración no se puede cambiar a voz pasiva.
Voz activa, verbo transitivo: People speak Spanish in Mexico.
Esta oración puede cambiarse a voz pasiva: Spanish is spoken in Mexico.
5
Sigue estos pasos:
1. Identifica el tiempo gramatical de la oración original; ese será el tiempo gramatical del verbo be:
They made this toy in China. (Simple past)
This toy WAS MADE in China (Simple past passive)
They bake bread every day (Simple present)
Bread IS BAKED every day (Simple present passive)
6
2. Verifica que el verbo principal sea transitivo; es decir, observa que dicho verbo afecte a un objeto o a un sujeto:
Cervantes wrote Don Quixote. (What did he write?)
Don Quixote was written by Cervantes.

La voz pasiva se puede usar en cualquier tiempo gramatical:

English is spoken in many countries.

The news has been published on the internet.

Aunque la voz pasiva enfatiza más la acción que el autor, sí se puede mencionar quién hace la acción. Cuando lo mencionamos, se le llama agente.
The Nintendo Switch was launched in 2017. (Sin agente)
The Nintendo Switch was launched in 2107 by Nintendo. (Con agente).
Como ves, al mencionar al agente, usamos la preposición by.
9
Si en la oración original en voz activa tienes sujetos como they, people, someone, ya no se añaden en voz pasiva, ya que esos sujetos no son relevantes, no se conocen, o no son importantes:
Someone has stolen my bike!
My bike has been stolen by someone.
They are cleaning the room right now.
