Passive voice modals
With modals in the passive voice, we have present and past forms:
Present tense forms: modal + be 3
rd
 form of the verb (past participle)
Past tense forms: modal + have been + 3
rd
 form of the verb (past participle)
Let’s look at some examples of the passive with modal verbs in the present tense:

We spoke previously about the future uses of modal verbs, and we can do this with passive voice modals
too:

These sandwiches will be sold by the end of the day.
Bicycles may be ridden on this bike path again from next week.
