Passive Voice II
We form the Progressive tenses in the Passive Voice with the appropriate form of the verb be + being + the past
participle of the main verb.
• Verbs such as know, believe, say, think, etc. are often followed by a that clause in the Active Voice and can be
used to make general statements.
People believe that he is very rich.
The Passive Voice can be formed in two ways:
• It + passive form of verb + that clause
It is believed that he is very rich.
• subject + passive form of verb + to + base form
He is believed to be very rich.
• When a verb (give, offer, send, etc.) takes two objects
in the Active Voice, there are two ways of forming the
Passive Voice.
Active Voice: They gave William a present.
Passive Voice: William was given a present.
A present was given to William.
