What is passive voice in sentences?

Passive voice in sentences is a grammatical construction where the subject of a sentence is the receiver of the action, rather than the doer. In passive voice, the focus is on the action being done to the subject, rather than who is performing the action. It is formed by using a form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb. Passive voice is often used when the doer of the action is unknown, unimportant, or when the speaker wants to emphasize the action rather than the doer.
