The passive process voice is used to emphasize an action. The passive state voice describes an event once the event has finished.
The injured person is taken by ambulance to the hospital.
However, process passive voice is often not used. It is used mainly in the official language or in certain newspaper articles. In ordinary language, the active voice or the passive reflex voice is used (see below).

Training To pass from a sentence in active voice to a passive voice, the direct object of active prayer (the testimonies) becomes the subject of the passive. The passive process voice is formed with the corresponding form of being, while the passive state is formed with being. The main verb (to collect) is included in the passive sentence as variable participle, agreeing on gender and number with the noun (collected).
The subject of the active sentence may be included as a complement in the passive sentence preceded by the preposition by, but in the passive state it will not appear.
