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.
