Review of the passive voice
Active voice I kissed him. The verb assigns accusative case to the direct
object. Passive voice
He was kissed (by me). Hypothesis: The verb/past participle can no
longer assign accusative case to the direct object, so it must move to subject position to get nominative, and the original subject disappears or appears with by.
