In a passive sentence, the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence, and the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb in the passive sentence is also changed to a form of "be" followed by the past participle of the main verb. Additionally, the agent (the doer of the action) may be included in a prepositional phrase beginning with "by."

When an active sentence is changed into its passive form, the subject and the object change places. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, and the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence.
For example, consider the following active sentence:
> The boy kicked the ball.
In this sentence, "the boy" is the subject and "the ball" is the object. If we change this sentence into its passive form, we get:
> The ball was kicked by the boy.
In this passive sentence, "the ball" is the subject and "the boy" is the object.
For example, consider the following active sentence:
> The boy kicked the ball.
In this sentence, "the boy" is the subject and "the ball" is the object. If we change this sentence into its passive form, we get:
> The ball was kicked by the boy.
In this passive sentence, "the ball" is the subject and "the boy" is the object.
