present simple after adjective
hello
one time I asked this quesstion but I think that the user who answered to my qeustion was wrong
Let's examine this sentence : the player _______ to move to other team
1.expected
2.is expected
according to the "user" we have to say only expected without verb be(is), but I saw on many officials websites that written "is expected" so what is the right answer ?
thx

If you only use 'expected', that is the simple past tense (active voice) of 'expect' and it refers to what the player himself thought. If you say 'is expected', that is the simple present tense in the passive voice and 'is expected' means that 'other people expect something'.

Hi Musesun
"This forbidden to make money in the university" is not a correct sentence. The word "forbidden" is not a tense at all -- it is just the past participle (V3) of the verb 'forbid'. You can say "This is forbidden", but you cannot say "This forbidden".
Have you learned how to make passive sentences yet? That seems to be what is confusing you.
