首先將主動語態的賓語變為被動語態的主語，然后將謂語變為被動語態，最后將主動語態中的主語放在介詞by的后面。如：

A lot of people speak English. →English is spoken by a lot of people.

在將主動語態變為被動語態時，要注意以下幾點：

1. 含有雙賓語的主動語態在變被動語態時，通常將指人的間接賓語變為被動語態的主語；也可將指物的直接賓語作為被動語態度的主語，但應在間接賓語前加上介詞to(謂語動詞多為pass, give, teach, bring, send, show, write等) 或for (謂語動詞多為buy, make, draw, keep等)。如：

His aunt gave him a nice present yesterday.

→He was given a nice present by his aunt yesterday./A nice present was given to him by his aunt yesterday.

2. 感觀動詞或使役動詞在主動句中其后的動詞不定式不帶to，但在變為被動語態時必須使用to。如：

I often hear Mary sing in the next room. →Mary is often heard to sing in the next room. 

3. 動詞短語(“動詞 + 介詞”、“動詞 + 副詞”等)作謂語的主動句在變為被動句時，要注意不要遺漏動詞后面的介詞或副詞。如：

We should take care good care of the old. →The old should be taken good care of.
