The English passive voice is used less often than the active voice, but frequency varies according to the writer's style and the given field of writing. Contemporary style guides discourage excessive use of the passive voice but generally consider it to be acceptable in certain situations, such as when the patient is the topic of the sentence, when the agent is unimportant and therefore omitted, or when the agent is placed near the end of a sentence as a means of emphasis.

The English passive voice typically[1] involves forms of the verbs to be or to get followed by a passive participle as the subject complement—sometimes referred to as a passive verb.[2]
