Is there any other verb which has passive meanings in "to infinitive" form?
I found these sentences in my book:
"Every one of them must be reprimanded" and "Every one of them is to blame."
When I first saw the second sentence, I thought that "Shouldn't it be "to be blamed"? Then I found out that "to blame" has passive meanings.
I'm wondering whether there are any other verbs which have passive meanings when it is used in the form of "to infinitive" like "blame."
Could you tell me, please?

CalifJim once gave me this example: The chicken is ready to eat. Sometimes both the active and the passive can have the same meaning: He (was) drowned in the river. CB
