Good evening everybody
I just have a simple question if you don't mind please!
How do wetransform change this sentence into the passive form?
"People say that insects are beneficial to our nature" ==> Active form
" Insects........................................." ==> Passive form
And the second sentence must begin with INSECTS, as it is shown above.
Thank you so much in advance !
Waiting for your help !
THANKS

Thanks headway and notrepère, but if we do so, nothing will be changed
" Insects are beneficial to our nature" is that what you mean??
Is this sentence correct please?
" Insects are beneficial to our nature , is said"
Thanks again to all of you !!

Hi again,
something goes missing between "are"& "beneficial".

Here are some examples:
People heard me shout---> I was heard to shout.
They saw me sleep---> I was seen to sleep.

Hi,
Insects are beneficial to our nature
isn't a passive form!
As told by Headway, something is missing between the verb and the participle.

Ahaa!! I got what you want to say, but what about " people say" ??
I guess it's the verb "say" which should be in the passive, shouldn't it??

Merci pour votre participation mais il est préférable de signaler les fautes, et d'apporter son aide plutôt que de faire le travail qui n'aura plus qu'à être recopié.
Cordialement.
