    Short Review of Passive Voice for a quiz.

    The passive voice is used when the action is more important than the subject performing the
    action. The subject of an active sentence becomes the agent in a passive sentence, often
    introduced by "by." The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive
    sentence.

    To form the passive voice, use the verb "to be" in the correct tense followed by the past
    participle of the main verb.

    Here are examples of passive voice sentences in various tenses, with the "to be" part
    highlighted.

    1. Simple Tenses

     Simple Present:
    Active: They grow coffee in Brazil.
    Passive: Coffee is grown in Brazil.
     Simple Past:
    Active: The company launched the product last year.
    Passive: The product was launched last year.
     Simple Future:
    Active: The manager will announce the results tomorrow.
    Passive: The results will be announced tomorrow.

    2. Progressive Tenses

     Present Progressive:
    Active: The workers are repairing the road.
    Passive: The road is being repaired by the workers.
     Past Progressive:
    Active: They were building a new school last year.
    Passive: A new school was being built last year.
     Future Progressive:
    Active: They will be fixing the computer tomorrow.
    Passive: The computer will be being fixed tomorrow.
    (Note: The future progressive passive is rarely used in English.)
    3. Perfect Tenses

     Present Perfect:
    Active: They have completed the project.
    Passive: The project has been completed.
     Past Perfect:
    Active: The company had already signed the contract.
    Passive: The contract had been signed.
     Future Perfect:
    Active: They will have finished the report by next week.
