Turki wrote a letter. into: A letter was written by Turki. We used ‘was’ as one of the forms of verb ‘ be ’. WHY?

That’s because….. Turki wrote a letter. A letter was written by Turki.
We used ‘was’ as one of the forms of verb ‘ be ’ , and it is the simple past tense. That’s because….. The main verb in the active sentence was in the simple past tense. Turki wrote a letter. A letter was written by Turki.
