"It is said that.../ He is said to".
etc., and "supposed to"

This👉👵 is Mary. She is very old, and nobody knows exactly how old she is. But: "It is said that she is 108 years old".
■"She is said to be 108 years old".
Both these sentences mean: "People say that she is 108 years old."

💢You can also use these structures with:
[thought, believed, expected, reported, alleged, understood, considered, known]

■"Mary is said to eat ten eggs a day". OR "It is said that Mary eats ten eggs a day.
■"It is believed that the wanted man is living in New York". OR "The wanted man is believed to be living in New York".
■"It is expected that the strike will begin tomorrow". OR "The strike is expected to begin tomorrow".
■It is alleged that he stole $100. OR "He was alleged to have stolen $100".

💢These structures are often used in news reports:
■"It is reported that two people were killed in the explosion". OR
"Two people are reported to have been killed in the explosion".
••┈┈●•❁❁✹❁❁•●┈┈┈••

💠Supposed to

Sometimes "(be) supposed to" means "said to":
■"Let's go and see that movie. It's supposed to be very good".(= It is said to be very good; people say that it's very good.)
■"He is supposed to have stolen $100". (= He is said to have stolen $100.)

💢But sometimes "supposed to" has a different meaning. You can use "supposed to" to say what is planned or arranged (and this is often different from what really happens):
■"l'd better hurry. It's nearly 8:00. I'm supposed to be meeting Ann at 8:15". (=Iarranged to meet Ann; I said I would meet Ann.)
■"The train was supposed to arrive at 11:30, but it was 40 minutes late".
(= The train should have arrived at 11:30, according to the schedule.)
■"You were supposed to clean the windows. Why didn't you do it?"

💢We use "not supposed to" to say what is not allowed or not advisable:
■"You're not supposed to park here".
(= You aren't allowed to park here.)
■"Mr. Jenkins is much better after his illness, but he's still not supposed to do any heavy work".

SOME SPECIAL PASSIVE STRUCTURES ARE:

••┈┈●•❁❁✹❁❁•●┈┈┈••
💠Some verbs can have two objects. For example, offer:
■"They didn't offer Ann the job". (the two objects are "Ann" and "the job")
💢So it is possible to make two different passive sentences:
■1. "Ann wasn't offered the job".
■2. "The job wasn't offered to Ann".
💢It is more usual for the passive sentence to begin with the person.

💢Other verbs like "offer" that can have two objects are:
[ask, tell, give, send, show, teach, pay]

Here are some examples of passive sentences with these verbs:
■"I was given two hours to make my decision". (= they gave me two hours)
■"The men were paid $1500 to do the job". (= someone paid the men $1500)
■"Have you been shown the new machine?" (= has anyone shown you the new machine?)
••┈┈●•❁❁✹❁❁•●┈┈┈••

💠 Born: Remember that "be born" is a passive verb and is usually past:
■"Where were you born?" (not are you born) -simple past
■"I was born in Chicago". (not I am born) -simple past
■"How many babies are born in this hospital every day?" -simple present
••┈┈●•❁❁✹❁❁•●┈┈┈••

💠The passive -ing form is [being + V3]
■Active: "I don't like people telling me what to do".
■Passive: "I don't like being told what to do".
■ I remember being given a toy drum on my fifth birthday". (= I remember someone giving me. . .)
■ "Hurry up! You know Mr. Miller hates being kept waiting". (= he hates people keeping him waiting)
■"She climbed over the wall without being seen". (= without anyone seeing her)
••┈┈●•❁❁✹❁❁•●┈┈┈••

💠Sometimes you can use "get" instead of "be" in the passive:
■"There was a fight at the party, but nobody got hurt". (= nobody was hurt)
■"Did Ann get fired from her new job?" (= was Ann fired from her new job?)

💢You can use "get" in the passive to say that something happens to someone or something. Often the action is not planned; it happens by chance:
■"The dog got run over by a car". (= the dog was run over)

💢 In other types of situation "get" is not usually possible:
■"George is liked by everyone". (not gets liked)

💢"Get" is used mainly in informal spoken English. You can use be in all situations.
