Hi, The correct answer for this sentence-"They report that over 6000 people were killed in the tsunami"- rewritten in the passive voice is; "over 6000 people are reported to have been killed in the tsunami". Why? I understand that the first part is simple present, and therefor "are reported" is correct, but the second part in the original sentence is simple past, so why it's been done as "have been killed" ? and why "are reported to be killed" is also wrong? Thank you, Osama
