2  When the action is more important than the person or thing doing the action (the agent). People were killed by the murderer  When the agent is unknown. The keys were stolen  In more formal situations. A new government has been elected

3  We form it by putting the verb to be into the same tense as the active verb and adding the past participle of the active verb. The manager creates profiles Profiles are created by the manager  The object becomes the subject, and the subject becomes the agent, and it is preceded by “by”.

6  We use subject + have / get + object + past participle when we talk colloquially and want to say that the subject suffers an action made by someone else. She had her leg broken They are going to get their hair cut  We use “have something done” when we mean that the subject is not responsible over what happens. I had my passport stolen on holiday  And we use “get something done” when we mean that the subject causes something to happen (maybe accidentally). I got my hand trapped in the door of the car

7  Won’t have + object + present participle / past participle, to say that we will not allow someone to do something, or something to happen. I won’t have you watching TV all day  Want + object + past participle, to say that we would like someone to do something or we would like something to happen.
