§ 6 Personal and impersonal constructions

Personal and Impersonal constructions are used when we cannot say or do not need to say who the speaker is (for example, in news reports). It was reported that the president had suffered a heart attack. (People said that the President had suffered a heart attack.) or The President was reported to have suffered a heart attack. (Someone reported that he had suffered a heart attack.)

1) It + passive verb + clause with verbs of reporting: It is said (that) Henry is in love with Claire.

2)Subject (not it) + passive verb + to infinitive with verbs of reporting: Henry is said to be in love with Claire.
