The Passive Active and passive sentences usually have the same meaning but the focus is different. Active: Millions of people read the magazine. Passive: The magazine is read by millions of people.

The Passive Form the passive with the correct form (tense) of be + past participle. It is written in nineteen languages. It was published in 1922. These copies have just been printed.

Use the passive when: the agent (the person or thing doing the action) is unknown or not important. The magazine was founded in 1922. (I don’t know who founded it.)

Use the passive when: the identity of the agent is clear from the context. The magazine is sold in newsagents. (We can assume that the people who work in the newsagent’s sell it. We don’t need to mention them.)

Use the passive when: you want to avoid mentioning the agent. Some mistakes were made in that article. (I know who made the mistakes but I don’t want to blame the person who made them.)

Use the passive with by if you mention the agent. The article was written by a psychologist.

Mention the agent when: You introduce necessary new information about the agent. John Dent is a famous sports writer. He has just been hired by Sports Weekly to write a monthly column. (The name of John’s employer is necessary new information.)

Mention the agent when: You want to give credit to someone who created something. The article was written by John Dent. The agent is surprising or interesting. Our windows are washed by a robot.

Be careful! In most cases, you do not need to mention an agent in passive sentences. Do not include an agent unnecessarily. The magazine is published once a week. NOT: The magazine is published by the publisher once a week.
