passive voice.

Passive voice is a grammatical construction where the subject of the sentence is acted upon rather than performing the action. In passive voice, the focus is on the action or the receiver of the action rather than on who or what is performing the action.
For example:
- **Active Voice**: The chef cooked the meal.
- **Passive Voice**: The meal was cooked by the chef.
In the passive voice sentence, "the meal" is the subject, but it is receiving the action of being cooked. The original doer (the chef) is still mentioned but is introduced with the preposition "by."
