The Reason Why Passive Voice Is Used
1. When the
agent (the person who does the action) is unknown, unimportant.
Example:
the temple was built in 1990.
2. To make
more polite or formal statement.
Example:
the car has not been cleaned (more polite when you want to tell someone to
clean his car)
3. Action is
more important.
Example:
a.
30 people were killed
in earthquake.
b.
1000 people were shot
in war.
4. Emphasis on
the agent.
Example:
a.
the new library will be opened by the queen.
b.
The meeting will be attended by the president.
