Давайте преобразуем предложенные вами предложения в пассивный залог.
Использование пассивного залога
Когда мы меняем предложение в активном залоге на пассивный, основное внимание уделяется действию и его результату, а не деятелю (т.е. тому, кто выполняет действие). Пассивный залог образуется с помощью глагола "to be" и причастия прошедшего времени основного глагола.
