I guess you wanted to say Past Participle instaed of Past Tense, because if "aware" were a verb, in asked example it would be in PP and not in Past Tense.

RCan I use "aware" ini passive voice? And how to make it?

Anonymous "aware" ini in the passive voice?
Impossible. If you have read this thread, you know that "aware" is not a verb. Only transitive verbs can appear in the active voice and in the passive voice. There is no such thing as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun in the passive voice.

Hi,
You have noted that "Because 'aware' is an adjective"

Is there any rule we can follow to distinguish which adjectives can be changed to 'ed' form etc?
