did you notice in this sentence? Let’s try to understand [At this time the display
in sequence is shown with marking arrow].
1. Subject becomes object.
2. Object takes the place of subject.
3. The action verb of the sentence is changed into past participle (i.e the
third form of verb).

5. PES/ENG/X/057
4. Helping verb is always used according to the tense of active sentence but
the subject of passive sentence. So tense of sentence never changes.
5. Object in the passive voice is introduced with “by”.
