The Passive structures are not yet over. We can also find:
A- Gerund Passive.
When the main verb in the sentence is gerund then " being+pp" is used to passify the sentence. Consider the following examples:
1- Karim enjoys Jihad imitating him.
karim=subject1. Jihad=subject2
here imitating is a gerund so to put this entences in passive we proceed as follows
Karim enjoys being imitated by Jihad.
the rule is subject+verb+being+p.p(gerund) +by subject two. the object pronoun"him" is omitted
2- She hates people fooling her.
She hates being fooled (by people).
2- What people believe, think, assume...
People believe that the prices will increase sharply next year.
subject1+verb1+that+Suject2+verb2 = TWO SOLUTIONS ,1 & 2.( a & b are the rules)
a-It+ be (in tense of verb1)+ verb1 in P.P+ that...
1--It is belived that the prices will increase sharply next year.
OR
b- subject2+be(in tense of verb1)+P.P of verb1+ infinitive of verb2 (+by subject1 if neccesary).
2-- The prises are believed to increase sharply.(here ,by people is not important)
