==========================================================
In Japanese, the passive voice also is used when the speaker wants to inject the sentence with emotion.  For example, Japanese speakers often use the passive voice in situations where they want to convey a sense that they are a “victim”.  In other words, they use the passive voice to describe when something bad has happened to them.

◆Transitive Verb:他動詞◆
A verb done to other things. Pronoun は direct object を verb. 

◆Intransitive Verb:自動詞◆
A verb done by itself. Noun が verb.

〇ドアが開(あ)けられました
✖ドアが開(あ)かれました

〇ドアが閉(し)められました。
✖ドアが閉(し)まられました。

Transitive

◆Passive sentence of intransitive verbs◆
  
Sentences with intransitive verbs can be made passive. In this case, "I" is the recipient of the action and the intransitive verb is the source of the action. Passive sentences with intransitive verbs imply trouble (damage) in the most cases.
