PASSIVE

We form the passive voice with the corresponding tense of the verb " to be" and the past participle. the object in active becomes the subject in passive.Example:

The boy broken the kitchen windows ==> active
subject    verb              object

The kitchen windows was broken by the boy
          subject                v.passive      agent

with verbs such as send, give, teach, tell, promise, offer, pay,... that have two objects (one referring to a person and other referring to a thing) when these verbs are used in passive. there are two possibilities, but mos of the times we prefer the one referring to a person to become the subject.
