Let's see if I get this right. These are three different kinds of sentences they always teach you after explaining the passive voice because they are in some ways similar.
A ver si me aclaro con esto. Estas son tres clases de oraciones que siempre te explican despues de explicarte la voz pasiva por lo que tienen de parecido con ella.
I - La pasiva "de lo que se dice:" Se consideran pasivas estas dos formas:
A) It …..is…..verbo en participio…..that…..oración entera.
El verbo en participio suele ser: said, known, believed, rumored, reported, thought u otros parecidos.
It…..is…..said…..that…..Madonna is a better businesswoman than singer.
It…..is…..thought…..that …..Paris is the city of love.
It …..is….. believed….that …..spinach makes children strong.
Traducimos una para que veas como suena en español:
Se dice que Madonna es mejor mujer de negocios que cantante.
Practice:

2. There is a rumor that Jane has left her husband.

4. People think Peter’s film is too long.
5. They say the police found the stolen money.
B) Sujeto…..be…..verbo en participio…..to…..verbo en infiitivo…..resto.
El verbo en participio suele ser uno de los citados arriba bajo la formula A.
Madonna…….is…....said……to……be……....a clever businesswoman.
Paris………..is……..thought...to…...be……....the city of love.

II - La pasiva "de lo que conseguiste que hiciese otro:"
Tiene dos partes:

2ª mitad: sujeto pasivo...participio…resto.
Susan…had/got...her hair…cut…today.
We…are having/ are getting…the car…fixed…here.
