πŸ“Grammar: Passive β€” is / are (the simple way)

Sometimes we do not say who does the action. We say **is** or **are** instead. Use **is** for one thing. Use **are** for many things. The baby **is** happy. One baby, so we use **is**. The boys **are** tired. Many boys, so we use **are**. The form is very simple. It is **is** or **are** + the verb in past form, like opened, cooked, or closed.
