The Passive

We use the passive when we don't know or there is no need to say who is the 'doer' of the action; it's the action itself that is more important.

 My watch was stolen.

Present Simple: am / is / are + third form of the verb:

 Fruit is grown in the south of the country.

Past Simple: was / were + third form of the verb:

 The road was closed because the river flooded.

Changing sentences onto the passive form:

   They make fresh bread every morning.
 Fresh bread is made (by them) every morning.
