How can we tell that something is written in passive voice?
The person or thing doing the action is mentioned last, if at all.
The sentence is grammatically correct, but does not have the same energy or clarity.
There is often a form of the "to be" verb in the sentence followed by an action that already happened.
All of these are indications of passive voice.
