To form the Passive Voice, we need to follow the formula: **Subject (receiver of the action) + to be (conjugated according to the tense and subject) + past participle of the main verb.** Let's convert the sentences into Passive Voice using Present Simple and Past Simple tenses: 1. Television **is watched** by billions of people around the world. 2. A new hospital **was visited** by the Queen this morning. 3. The novel "1984" **was written** by George Orwell. 4. People's attitudes **are changed** by some soap operas. 5. This area **was searched** by the police very carefully yesterday. 6. A bad road accident **was reported** by some witnesses last night. 7. The awards **are given** by Penelope Cruz. 8. Digital TV **was invented** in the 1960s. 9. The criminal **was seen** at the shopping centre in the early morning. 10. 2,000 CDs **were sold** by the famous singer in one week. 11. The Oscar ceremony usually **is watched** by over 2 billion people. 12. My room **was painted** green last week. 13. The first DVD players **were introduced** in the 1980s. In the Passive Voice, the focus shifts from the doer of the action to the receiver of the action. The sentences are structured to emphasize the action done to the subject rather than the subject doing the action.
