Was ou were, depois o particípio passado do verbo.
O particípio passado é a terceira forma das tabelas de verbos: written, gone, built. Ele nunca muda com o sujeito.

Sua primeira pergunta está vindo.
O padrão
Was ou were, depois o particípio passado:
The prize was presented by the mayor.
Onde os erros acontecem
Quase todo erro neste tempo é o mesmo: usa-se a forma de passado simples em vez do particípio. As duas são idênticas nos verbos regulares, e é por isso que o problema só aparece nos irregulares.
was wrote → was written was took → was taken was broke → was broken
Se o verbo é irregular, confira a terceira coluna da tabela antes de escrever.
Datas e a expressão com by
As frases de história costumam levar as duas coisas:
The cathedral was completed in 1248. The music was written by a student.
Relatando o que se disse
Um grupo de verbos é quase sempre passivo neste uso:
It was reported that… He was said to be… The company was thought to be profitable.
O português faz igual: «foi noticiado que», «dizia-se que».
Todas as formas
| Verbo | Passado simples | Particípio passado — o que a passiva pede |
|---|---|---|
| write | wrote | written |
| take | took | taken |
| build | built | built |
| break | broke | broken |
| steal | stole | stolen |
| find | found | found |
