rigth form of to be + past participle

If you want to make an active sentence to a passive sentence, you have to observe:

- the subject from the active sentence turns to the object from the passive sentence

- The object from the active sentence turns to the subject from the passive sentence

Examples:

Tense	Active	Passive
Simple present	I make a cupcake.	A cupcake is made by me
Simple past	I made a cupcake.	A cupcake was made by me.
Present perfect	I have made a cupcake.	A cupcake has been made by me
Will-future	I will make a cupcake.	A cupcake will be made by me.
Auxiliary verbs (Hilfsverben)	I would make a cupcake.	A cupcake would be made by me.

MIND THE BACKSHIFT OF TENSES!!!

Auxilary verbs e.g.:

can , would , must , may , have , able

Using the passive:
