9. Passive with the Verbs Having Two Objects

Many verbs can be followed by two objects, which usually refer to a person
and a thing.
The Queen gave a medal to the pilot.
The Queen gave the pilot a medal.
Either a medal or the pilot can be the subject of a passive sentence:
A medal was given to the pilot.
The pilot was given a medal.
More often in such cases the person becomes the subject of the passive verb.
I was given two hours to make my decision.
The workers are paid $200 a week.
You were lent ten thousand pounds last year.
Verbs used like this are: give, lend, send, pay, hand, sell, promise, show,
offer, teach, owe, award, grant, allow, leave (in a will) and feed.

10. Special Passive Patterns

A. It is said that.../ He is said to...
We can use this special pattern with verbs of reporting when we do not need
to know who is doing the reporting. Sentences of the type People
consider/know/think etc. that he is... have two possible passive forms:
It is considered/known/thought etc. that he is...
He is considered/known/thought etc. to be...
The infinitive construction is the more exact of the two. It is chiefly used
with to be though other infinitives can sometimes be used:
He is thought to have information which will be useful to the police.
Perfect infinitive is used when the thought concerns a previous action.
People believe that he was =
It was believed that he was or He was believed to be...
People know that he was =
It is known that he was or He is known to have been...
This construction can be used with the perfect infinitive of any verb.
We use this construction after acknowledge, assume, believe, claim,
consider, estimate, expect, feel, find, intend, know, presume, report, say,
think, understand. With the other verbs in this group (agree, announce,
arrange, decide, fear, hope, regret) the that- structure is more common.
