Present Simple Passive

Structure:

The structure of Present Simple Passive is: Subject + am/is/are + past participle of the verb

Explanation:

In the Present Simple Passive, the subject of the sentence receives the action instead of performing it. It is used when the focus is on the action or the recipient of the action, rather than the person performing the action. In this structure, we use the verb "to be" in the present form (am, is, are), followed by the past participle of the main verb.

The Present Simple Passive is generally used when the action is more important than the subject performing the action, or when the doer of the action is unknown or irrelevant. It is commonly used in scientific, formal, or general statements where the action and the result are more important than who performs them.
