This document discusses the passive voice of infinitives and gerunds. It provides examples of using passive infinitives to speculate or discuss events indirectly by using "is said/believed/expected" followed by an infinitive. It also discusses using passive gerunds to shift the focus from an agent to the action itself by using a form of "being" followed by a gerund. Rules are provided for constructing sentences in the passive voice with infinitives and gerunds.
