'Be" or "am, is, are''

"Why be used "wouldn't" instead of, for example, "didn't"?"
"Why is "wouldn't" used instead of, for example, "didn't"?
Would you please tell me which of them is correct?, i mean i know the second sentence is correct but i don't know when we use "Be" for passive tense and when we use "am, is, are"?

mirmohamad"Why be used "wouldn't" instead of, for example, "didn't"?"
The sentence is not correct.
Why do we use "wouldn't" instead of "didn't".?
mirmohamadbut i don't know when we use "Be" for passive tense and when we use "am, is, are"?
"Be" is used for the imperative:

Be here at 8:00 am sharp!

mirmohamadi don't know when we use "Be" for passive tense
"Be" is not used in passive constructions. "Been" is used in passive voice perfect tenses.

The letter has been sent. (present perfect)
He had been poisoned. (past perfect)
All these cars should have been sold last month. (modal perfect)

mirmohamad"Last month Chancellor Angela Merkel be criticised for not raising the issue of human rights and press freedom in Egypt"
That is grammatically wrong.

It would be correct with "let."
Let Chancellor Angela Merkel be criticised for not raising the issue of human rights and press freedom in Egypt last month.
