The given sentence is in present simple tense – Subject + V1+s/es+ object

Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does
nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the
verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the
object.
The structure in passive voice – Object+ is/am/are+ V3+ by + subject
The sentence thus formed is – The poor children are taught every day by Vinay.
