1. Когда само по себе действие важнее, чем его исполнитель, и говорящий хочет указать именно на действие. Например:
A courier delivers mail every day. – Курьер доставляет почту каждый день. (Active Voice)
The mail is delivered every day. – Почту доставляют каждый день. (Passive Voice)
В первом предложении мы указываем исполнителя действия, а во втором используем пассивный залог, так как хотим подчеркнуть само действие, факт доставки, а не его исполнителя.
2. Пассивный залог используют, если исполнитель действия неизвестен, неважен или понятен из контекста:
These clothes are made in Italy. – Эта одежда изготавливается в Италии.
The new laws will be discussed tomorrow. – Новые законы будут обсуждаться завтра.
Поэтому в газетных заголовках и статьях, в объявлениях, инструкциях, рекламных текстах пассивный залог используется чаще чем активный:
The valuable painting was stolen from the museum last night. – Ценная картина была украдена из музея ночью.
The company was sold. – Компания была продана.
Our vegetables are not sprayed with pesticides. – Наши овощи не обрызгиваются пестицидами.
3. Пассивный залог используют, когда говорят о неприятных ситуациях и не хотят никого обвинять, а также чтобы придать высказыванию более вежливый характер:
The party was spoilt. – Вечеринка была испорчена.
The order wasn’t dispatched yesterday but it will be done tomorrow. – Заказ не был отправлен вчера, но это сделают завтра.
