 "Passive Voice and Conditionals".  

1.  It is very easy to build, and is based on a combination of the verb BE (not BE) at the appropriate time, plus the past participle of the verb to conjugate, which have participle agreement in gender and number with the new subject; the subject of the active sentence becomes preceded by the preposition "with" and become what we call human agency.
2. When we put more emphasis on action and not to those who have it, we use the passive voice.
3. PAST TENSE:  Subject + verb To-be + past participle + complement.PRESENT PROGRESSIVE: Am /are/is being + past participle+ complement.
