The Group of Tenses of the Passive Voice
In the passive voice construction with to be and past participle, the focus is on the action being done to the subject, rather than the subject performing the action. This construction emphasizes the result or effect of the action, rather than who is doing the action. For example, in the sentence The cake was baked by the chef, the focus is on the cake and the fact that it was baked, rather than the chef who did the baking. This construction is useful when the doer of the action is unknown, unimportant, or when the speaker wants to emphasize the result of the action rather than who performed it.

A verb is one of the nine parts of speech in the English grammar. It is a type of word that typically expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being.

In addition, verbs often undergo inflection to indicate tense, aspect, mood, or agreement with the subject.
