Poscasts for learners of B2 level English. This is a follow-up of Podcast 40, where I gave an introduction to the passive. In this B2 level description of the passive, I'll go into the use of the passive in a little more detail. I'll talk about the important phrases we use to discuss what people say, think and believe - It is said that... etc. There is a story with examples of the passive to listen out for. This listening podcast with full transcript and questions on the text can be found at: https://www.practisingenglish.com/podcast-91.htm
