In Present Simple Passive, the structure is:
[Subject] + [am/is/are] + [past participle] + [optional object/agent]
The Present Simple Passive is used to emphasize the action or the object receiving the action rather than who performs the action. It’s commonly used in the following scenarios:
1. When the doer is unknown, unimportant, or obvious:
Unknown: “The painting is admired by everyone.” (We don’t know who admires it specifically.)
Unimportant: “The trash is collected every morning.” (Who collects it isn’t relevant.)
Obvious: “English is spoken here.” (It’s clear who speaks it.)
2. To focus on the result or action:
Example: “New products are launched every year.”
(The emphasis is on the launching of products, not who launches them.)
3. For formal or impersonal tone:
Example: “Rules are followed strictly in this organization.”
(Gives a neutral, objective tone.)
4. In scientific or technical contexts:
Example: “Water is boiled at 100°C.”
(Used to present general facts or truths.)
5. For instructions and announcements:
Example: “Guests are requested to leave by 10 PM.”
(Often seen in public notices or guidelines.)
6. To avoid assigning blame:
Example: “Mistakes are made.”
(Keeps the sentence neutral without pointing fingers.)
This structure is particularly useful for objectivity and clarity when the action or the receiver of the action is more important than the doer.
