Hi Clive...
I'm new here, don't know whether it will work..but I hope you will receive my message. I need help with active to passive transformation.
There are sentences i need to rewrite to passive voice:
1. They say that Helen is the best teacher. The passive sentence should begin : Helen is said to..................................?
2. They say that Helen was the best teacher.     Helen is said to ..................................?
3. They say that Helen will be the best teacher.  Helen is said to....................................?
4. They said they would rather Diana didn't listen to music at work.   Diana ...............................?
Are there rules how to make passive in examples above?
 Thanks in advance.
