- Form: "to be" (am, is, are, was, were, has been, have been, had been, will be, etc.) + past participle.

- Subject: The agent might not be mentioned or comes after "by."

- Tense: Depends on the tense of the "to be" verb.

- Object: Active voice object becomes passive voice subject.

- Transformation: Identify object, make it subject, use "to be" + past participle, optionally add agent with "by."
