In Korean, passive sentences can be created by modifying active verbs into passive verb forms by adding the suffix "-이/가" (-i/ga) or "-히/리" (-hi/li) after the verb ending.  For example, if you have an active sentence like "사람이 고양이를 키워요" which means "The person keeps a cat," you can make it into a passive sentence by turning it into "고양이가 사람에게 키워져요" which means "The cat is kept by the person." Passive voices are one of the grammatical structures that are often used to quote or repeat the words of others.  In a passive sentence, the main focus is given to the object of the action rather than the subject performing the action. 하다 → 되다 Passive Voice indicates that an action is carried out indirectly, not directly by a specific person.
