The passive present simple is formed by using the auxiliary verb “to be” in the present tense followed by the past participle of the main verb. It is used to talk about actions that are done to the subject of the sentence.

The structure of the passive present simple is as follows:

Subject + am/is/are + past participle

Here are some examples:

• The car is washed every week. (The car is the subject and the action of washing is done to it.)
• The book is written by a famous author. (The book is the subject and the action of writing is done to it.)
• The house is cleaned by a professional cleaner. (The house is the subject and the action of cleaning is done to it.)

In these examples, the focus is on the subject receiving the action rather than the doer of the action.
