Passive

Passive

1. REPORTING VERBS

   • Sometimes when you are reporting what people said or believe, you don't know, or don't want to say, who exactly the 'people' are. So you use an impersonal construction: People believe that hundreds of thousands of birds died.

2. EXPRESSING THE SAME IDEA

3. OTHER VERBS
