He said that ..... We can make this kind of sentence into passive with 'it' like,'it is said that.....'. Can we do this to every verb that is followed by that clause? Like,
He denies that...
It is denied that....

I know that....
It is known that..

So, can we make this kind of sentence 'it is known that....' With 'it' with every verb that is followed by that clause? Please help.
