We use the passive when we want to focus on the recipient of an action in a sentence, not the doer.
The prayers are offered by priests.
We also use the passive when we don’t know who does the action.

We use the passive more in writing than in speaking.
We often use the passive in writing to describe a process.
The head is shaved. Then it is washed with holy water.
We use be + past participle to make the present passive.
For the past participle of irregular verbs, see Irregular Verbs list, page 159.
Active to passive
Active sentences start with the subject.

In passive sentences, the subject is the recipient of the action.

We use by to introduce the person or thing which does the action in the passive sentences.
