A voz passiva é um recurso utilizado quando queremos enfatizar a ação e não quem a fez (agente). É ainda utilizado quando o agente não for relevante.
Na passagem da voz ativa para a voz passiva ocorrem as seguintes transformações:
a) O objeto da voz ativa torna-se o sujeito da voz passiva.
b) O verbo TO BE (sempre constante na voz passiva) é usado no tempo em que estiver o verbo principal na voz ativa.a) O objeto da voz ativa torna-se o sujeito da voz passiva.
c) O verbo principal da voz ativa é sempre usado no particípio passado na voz passiva.
d) Quando o sujeito da voz ativa for um subject pronoun ( I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they), o agente da passiva correspondente a ele será um object pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them).TENSE | ACTIVE VOICE | PASSIVE VOICE |

VOZ PASSIVA COM DOIS OBJETOS (INDIRETO E DIRETO)
Quando o verbo da oração na voz ativa for transitivo direto e indireto, haverá duas formas de transformar essa oração para a voz passiva:
Active voice: They give this right to you.
(this right - direct object) (you - indirect object)Passive voice 1: This right is given to you.
Passive voice 2: You are given this right.
Passive voice 2: You are given this right.
O agente da passiva, neste caso, geralmente é omitido. Exemplo:
She asked a question to him.Passive voice 1: A question was asked to him.
Passive voice 2: He was asked a question.
Verbos mais comuns que apresentam dois objetos: answer, ask, call, give, make, pay, promise, refuse, send, show, teach, offerPassive voice 2: He was asked a question.
