The passive voice in English is a grammatical voice whose syntax is marked by a subject followed by a stative verb complemented by a past participle. For example: The enemy was defeated.Caesar was stabbed. In each instance of a passive voice construction, the subject denotes the recipient of the action (the patient) rather than the performer (the agent). The agent may be omitted as evinced in the examples above, or it may be included adjunctively as follows: The enemy was defeated by our troops.Caesar was stabbed by Brutus. Our troops defeated the enemy.Brutus stabbed Caesar.
