The most accurate description of the passive voice is:
A verb in the passive voice is done for its subject.
In passive voice constructions, the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action rather than the doer. For example, in the sentence "The ball was thrown by the boy," "the ball" is the subject receiving the action of being thrown.
