- Write all the English written language you saw.
- Decide how the story is going to end.

PASSIVE WITH REPORTING VERBS

Impersonal use
This is the part Spanish people don't like at all. However, this form is often used in English, especially in things like newspaper reports.
Structures:
It + passive reporting verb + that + clause

subject + passive reporting verb + to infinitive
Both these structures are used, but the first one is probably the most usual because it can be used with almost any sentence:
It is said that twenty people have died in the explosion.
Twenty people are said to have died in the explosion.

It is believed that the prime minister is on the point of resigning.
The prime minister is believed to be on the point of resigning.

It was agreed that the strike would end at midnight.

It has been estimated that 200 new jobs will be created.
The equivalent structure in Spanish is often the reflexive:
Se dice que...
Se supone que...
Some of the verbs you can use with this structure are believe, calculate, claim, consider, discover, estimate, feel, hope, know, prove, report, say, show, think, understand, etc.
