1)How to identify?
Basic rule
If the sentence has the word 'by' and after by, the subject comes, then it's passive.
Example :- The work was done by him.
Another thing, in passive voice, the object/predicate comes first and the subject/doer of the action, comes at last.
Example :- The papers were distributed.
Here, the papers are object hence the sentence is passive.
If it doesn't happens, then the sentence is active
We distributed the papers.
"We" is the doer, hence its active voice.
By practicing, you will automatically be able to understand.
2) There are some rules or formulas:-
Simple present
Active :- Sub + verb1st form + object
Passive :- Obj + is/am/are + verb3rd form + subject
Example :- Snakes eats rats
Passive :- Rats are eaten by snakes.
Present continuous
A :- S + is/am/are + Verb ING form + O
P :- O + is/am/are + being + V 3rd + S
(S = subject, V = verb and O = object)
example :- I am singing a song
Passive :- A song is being sung by me
Present Perfect
A :- S + has/have + V 3rd + O
P :- S + has/have + been + V 3rd + O
example :- I have done the work
P :- The work has been done by me
There are no perfect continuous forms of Passive voice. Similarly, Future continuous passive voice doesn't exist.
Simple Past
A :- S + V 2nd + O
P :- O + Was/were + V 3rd + S
Past continuous
A :- S + was/were + V ing form + O
P :- O + was/were + being + V 3rd + S
Past Perfect
A :- S + had + V 3rd + O
P :- O + had + been + V 3rd + S
example :- He had requested for the book
The book had been requested by him
Future Indefinite (Simple Future)
A :- S + will/shall + V + O
P :- O + will/shall + be + V 3rd + O
example :- He will read the novel
P : The novel will be read by him.
Future continuous No passive
Future perfect
A : S + will/shall + have + V 3rd + O
P :- O + will/shall + have been + Verb 3rd + O
example :- He will have done the work
P : The work will have been done by him
So I listed the rules and examples where I found the necessity.
Hope it helps dear friend
