两类被动句型的转换英语中有一种主动句可以转换成两种被动句型，它们通常是一些表示客观说明的句子，如：People believed that she is honest.

大家相信她是诚实的。

→ It’s believed that she is honest.

大家相信她是诚实的。

→ She is believed to be honest.

大家相信她是诚实的。

比较上面两类被动句型可以发现，一类是“it+be+过去分词+that从句”，另一类则是“主语+be+过去分词+不定式”(其中的“主语”为前一类句型中that从句中的主语)，通常可用于这两类被动句型的动词有assume, believe, expect, fear, feel, know, presume, report, say, suppose, think, understand等，比较(同时注意其中时态和动词形式的变化)。

如：It’s expected that he will come soon.

/ He is expected to come soon.

预计他很快就会来。

It’s expected that he has come.

/ He is expected to have come.

估计他会已经来了。

It’s known that is a good singer.

/ He is known to be a good singer.

大家知道他是位优秀的歌手。

It’s known that was a good singer.

/ He is known to have been a good singer.
