In English, there are often two ways of talking about an action. You can use an
active form, for example:
But when you want to move the focus from the subject to the object, then you use
the passive form, for example:
That is because the action is more important than who does it.
As you can see in the example, football which was the object in the active,
becomes the SUBJECT in the PASSIVE.
We also use the Passive Voice when we describe a process or write a rule.
Examples:
First, the eggs are beaten, and then the milk is added.
Smoking is forbidden in any public establishment.
Note 1:
The tense of the Verb to Be changes according to the tense used in the active
voice but remember that the main verb always goes in participle!

Rewrite the following text changing the underlined verbs into the passive. Make
any other changes necessary.
People believe that King Nebuchadnezzar built the Gardens as a present for his wife,
Amytas, in 600 BC. Archeologists had not found any evidence until recently that the
Gardens existed at all. For a long time, experts believed that the Greek poets had made
the Gardens up. Babylonian historians do not mention them at all. Archeologists
discovered the remains of the Palace of Babylon a few years ago and they have now
found huge walls which may have been built as part of the Gardens. The ancient
Babylonians grew the Gardens 75 metres above the ground. Today, visitors to modern
Iraq can see the ruins of Babylon, though only a stone lion remains of the glory that was
Babylon.
