+ ser + past participle + por the object + agent Remember that the past participle is the “ado/ido” or an irregular form of some verbs. exs. comprado, vendido, comido, hecho, dicho, etc. Ex.: Los templos y palacios fueron construidos por los mayas. In Passive Voice sentences, the ending on the past participle MUST agree in number and gender with subject of the sentence.
