We use the verb to be in the same form as the verb in the active sentence. We use the past participle of the main verb in the active sentence. We use by if we want to say who performed the action. Eg. chef. S V O So be + P.P. by + Os She trains the guide dogs. The guide dogs are trained by her. S V O So be + P.P. by + Os The head chef prepared the sauces. The sauces were prepared by the head
