Hi, it �s passive of modal verbs. It consists of a modal verb and �be � plus the main verb in past participle.

The passive form in any tense always contains the verb to be in some form followed by the past participle.
With the modal verbs, for example should, it depends on the original tense that you are making passive.
[present simple] I should make a copy > A copy should be made.
[present perfect] I should have made a copy > A copy should have been made.
[present continuous] I should be making a copy > A copy should be being made.
Hope this helps.
