The document discusses the passive form of gerunds and infinitives. It begins by defining gerunds and infinitives, and provides examples of verbs that are followed by gerunds and infinitives. It then explains the difference between active and passive voice, noting that the passive voice uses a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. Finally, it analyzes two example sentences, identifying one as passive voice because it focuses on the receiver of the action rather than the doer.
