    The document discusses different passive structures in English: 1. Structure A discusses using the passive voice to put important underlined information at the end of sentences about what is given or allowed to different groups. 2. Structure B discusses reporting rumors using the passive voice with "it is said that" instead of active constructions with "people say". 3. Structure C discusses reporting the same rumors as Structure B but using "he/she/it is said to" instead of "it is said that".
