The basic passive puts the receiver first and the doer last, or hides the doer.

Receiver first

Someone has cleaned the room. → The room has been cleaned. They built the bridge. → The bridge was built.

Why use it

Focus on the action or the receiver. Not because every sentence must hide the person.

The room has cleaned. — no
The room has been cleaned. — yes
