Passive Voice

The passive voice expresses the idea that the person or thing denoted by the subject is acted upon.

Passive verb forms are produced from transitive verbs with the auxiliary verb "to become" - کېدٌل . The main verb is in form of an infinitive or a past participle, while the auxiliary one is in the appropriate form for the tense being expressed.
