A sentence is said to be in passive voice if the subject is the receiver of the action, or if the object receives the action of the verb.

A sentence is said to be in passive voice if the subject is the receiver of the action of the verb, rather than the doer. In passive voice, the focus is on the object receiving the action, rather than the subject performing the action. So, to determine if a sentence is in passive voice, you need to identify whether the object receives the action of the verb or not. If the object receives the action, then the sentence is in passive voice.
