So how can you tell if a sentence is in the passive voice?
 It’s easy: a passive sentence will always have some form of the verb be, followed by a past participle. All of these examples are passives:


The burglar was arrested.
The children were invited to the party.
This flight is expected to arrive on time.
The candidate is being prepared for the debate.
I am appalled by your behaviour.
