The Present Passive Voice

The present passive voice is a grammatical structure used to describe an action being performed on the subject of the sentence.
The verb in the present passive voice is formed using the auxiliary verb "to be" in the present tense (am, is, are) followed by the past participle of the main verb.
The subject of the sentence in the present passive voice is the recipient of the action, not the performer of the action.
The present passive voice focuses on the action being performed, not on who or what is performing the action.
