    The document discusses the passive voice and provides examples. It explains that certain verbs such as "be believed", "be offered", and "be given" can be used in the passive voice by changing the active voice sentence structure. For example, changing from the active "People believe that he is very rich" to the passive "It is believed that he is very rich". It also gives examples of changing the direct and indirect objects in sentences with two objects, such as changing from the active "They offered Tracy some flowers" to the passive "Tracy was offered some flowers".
