Passive voice

Okay guys,we've delivered a message from someone else or we say something and other people who deliver longer something that we convey to people lain.We and others in conveying it must use the passive voice so we must know how to make passive voice :)
Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.
In the passive sentence, the object of an active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb.
Only transitive verbs are used in the passive. Intransitive verbs such as happen, sleep, come and seem cannot be used in the passive.
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
AGENT (OR BY AGENT)
IN A PASSIVE CLAUSE, WE USUALLY USE A PHRASE BEGINNING WITH BY IF WE WANT TO MENTION THE AGENT - THE PERSON OR THING THAT DOES THE ACTION, OR THAT CAUSES WHAT HAPPENS.
EXAMPLES:
MY MOTHER MAKES THE SANDWICH EVERY MORNING.
SUBJECT VERB1+S/ES O C (ADV. OF TIME)
THE SANDWICH IS MADE BY MY MOTHER EVERY MORNING.
SUBJECT O BE+V3 AGENT C (ADV. OF TIME)
WHAT ABOUT OTHER TENSES?
PRESENT CONTINUOUS : [ S + TO BE + BEING +V3 (PAST PARTICIPLE)
PRESENT PERFECT: [ S + HAS/HAVE + BEEN + V3 (PAST PARTICIPLE)
Here are the examples:

If you want to change an active sentence which has two objects into its passive forms, there are two ways:
John is giving his girl-friend a bunch of flower.
indirect object direct object
Passive: The indirect object as the subject
John’s girl-friend is being given a bunch of flower
or
Passive: The direct object as the subject
A bunch of flower is being given to John’s girl-friend
Hey, how about the negative and interrogative?
Take a look at the followings:
People don’t use bikes anymore
Bikes are not used anymore
Did the students play the cards in the class yesterday?
Were the cards played in the class yesterday?
SOME EXAMPLES (SIMPLE PRESENT, PAST AND FUTURE) FOR YOU…
Some students open the book silently during the examination (active)
The books are opened silently by some students during the examination. (passive)
Ku Klux Klan killed many innocent people.
Many innocent people were killed by Ku Klux Klan
Sting will perform the 2nd world tour in Indonesia

- the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
- the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
- the subject of the active sentence becomes by Agent in the passive sentence (or is dropped)
- Only active sentence containing object which can be changed into passive form
- The two forms should have the same tenses
AGENT (OR BY AGENT)
IN A PASSIVE CLAUSE, WE USUALLY USE A PHRASE BEGINNING WITH BY IF WE WANT TO MENTION THE AGENT - THE PERSON OR THING THAT DOES THE ACTION, OR THAT CAUSES WHAT HAPPENS.
