a) We use the passive when the focus is on the action being done rather than who is doing it. It is formed by using the appropriate form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb. The tenses that do not have a passive form are the modal verbs (can, could, may, might, should, would) and the simple present tense (except for the third person singular).
