Explanation

In passive voice, the subject receives the action, often with a form of “be” followed by a past participle. In “That paper was written by Jeremy,” the paper receives the action of writing; in “The apples have been picked by farm workers,” the apples receive the action of picking. The other sentences describe subjects doing or experiencing actions in active constructions.
