💡La idea central

El objeto pasa al frente

En la voz activa el sujeto hace la acción. En la voz pasiva el objeto se convierte en sujeto y quien actúa desaparece o se introduce con by.
“The chef cooks the meal. → The meal is cooked by the chef.”
Se usa cuando el agente es obvio, desconocido o poco importante.
