In Farsi, creating the passive form of a compound verb ending in **دادن** (to give) is highly systematic: simply replace the active infinitive **دادن** with **داده شدن**.

This structure is very common in formal news, official reports, and public announcements where the focus is on the action rather than who performed it.

### Forming the Passive in Context

In a sentence, the non-verbal part of the compound and the past participle **داده** remain fixed. Only the auxiliary verb **شدن** is conjugated to match the tense and subject.

For example, in the simple past tense, **شدن** conjugates as **شد** (it was) or **شدند** (they were).

### Passive in Other Tenses

You can easily shift these passive verbs into other tenses or moods just by changing the conjugation of **شدن**.

Notice how the present indicative **می‌شود** is used for ongoing or immediate future actions, while the subjunctive **شود** is triggered by conditionals like "if" (**اگر**).
