    How to say it

    object + be + V3 (+ by ...) — “Passive = focus on the thing, not the doer”

    1. Active: Ravi wrote the letter. Passive: The letter was written by Ravi. (object आगे, फिर be + V3)
    2. Tense is shown by 'be': is/are made (present), was/were built (past), will be sent (future), has been done (perfect), is being repaired.
    3. Add 'by + doer' only when it matters. Use passive when the doer is unknown or obvious: My bike was stolen.

    Use it for: Office emails, order updates, notices, news, talking about where things are made or when buildings were built.

    Worked example: This fort was built 400 years ago.

    1. Try each option in the gap: built / build / building.
    2. Passive = be + V3 (built). (पैसिव में तीसरी फ़ॉर्म)

    Check: I can say: My bike was stolen. The email will be sent today. The work has been done. ✓
