3 Passive Voice (be + V3) ► Somebody cleans this room every day. ► (active) ► This room is cleaned every day. ► (passive) ► The object of the active verb becomes the subject in the new sentence.

4 Passive Voice in Present, Past and Future Simple. Present Present Simple Simple Am/is/are + V3 The work is done. Past Past Simple Simple Was/were + V3 The work was done. Future Future Simple Simple Will be + V3 The work will be done.
