PASSIVE
*CD refers to the direct complement in the active voice, which corresponds to the passive subject, and subj refers to the active subject which corresponds to the agent object, but it is written to comprehend how to transform into passive or active voice.
Verbs like: say, think, believe, know, report and expect, can be written in two ways in the passive.
To form the interrogative we must take into account these cases:

Complements

Complements

There are some times when you don´t have to use the agent complement.
When we have a direct object in the active form:-It transform into subject in the passive. -The subject transforms into passive agent, introduced by the preposition "by". -The verb transforms as we have seen.
We have a direct and indirect object in the active form with verbs like: to ask, to give, to pay, to promise, to sell, to send, to show, to tell... We can transform the active into two different passive phrases.
