Passive voice
Hello,
I am supposed to transform this sentence into the passive voice:
"People said that he was jealous of her. "
Are my sentences correct?
1) It was said that he was jealous of her.
2) He was said to be jealous of her.
As far as sentence 2 is concerned, I was thinking about "He was said to have been jealous of her."
Thank you

1 and 2 are both correct possibilities. Your third choice, depending on the time frame, can also be used.

Thank you. Philip.
The original sentece was "People said that he was jealous of her" that's why I thought that "He was said to have been jealous of her" is more appropriate.
