Explicación:
La voz pasiva en presente se construye: verbo to be en el tiempo verbal correspondiente y el verbo principal en participio pasado; es decir, o bien añadiendo la partícula –ed al verbo si este es regular, o bien mirando el participio pasado en la lista de verbos irregulares si el verbo es irregular.
El objeto directo de la voz activa pasa a ser el sujeto de la voz pasiva + verbo to be afirmstivo o negativo ( segun el caso ) + verbo en participio pasado + by + agente ( es el sujeto de la activa)
