How do we form the passive?
Active voice:
Subject + verb + object (Alicia) + (eats) + (an apple)
Passive voice:
subject + to be + past participle + by + agent

Don’t forget!!
The verb “to be” ALWAYS has to appear in passive voice.
The verb “to be” takes the same time that the principal verb has in active voice.
