Maybe you don't have to include the thing that is doing the action; Or you don't want to say who it was or you don't care - maybe it's not important => remove that former subject) *Note: Put the new object after “by”. If the subject of active sentence is a noun indicating materials and tools => replace by with WITH when you convert to passive voice If the subject of the active sentence is nothing, no one, nobody ..., the passive voice removes the object and is in the negative.
