The passive voice of present indefinite tense
Rules
If we need to make the passive voice of the present indefinite tense, the sentence starts with the object. After the object, helping verb “Be” is used. Past participle or 3rd form of the verb is used as the main verb. If the object is “I”, “AM” is used. If the object is singular “Is” is used as a helping verb. If the object is plural “Are” is used as a helping verb.
Positive Sentences
Positive sentences start with an object and then helping verb Is, Am, Are is used according to the object. After object, past participle or 3rd form of the verb is used as a main verb. By is used after the main verb and then object is used.
