Hi everybody. I need help with changing an active sentence to passive voice.
How should I change these sentences into passive voice.?
1. People say that he is the best.    passive – He is said to…...........?
2. People say that he was the best.  passive – He is said to…............?
3. We can't find his bag anywhere.   passive - She…....................?
4 People say that that new store will be opened next tuesday.   passive – New store is said to…...............?

Are there any rules how passive is created in cases like these written above…?
Thanks in advance.. Bebe79

Active form: [SUBJECT] [VERB] [OBJECT]

Passive form: [Active Form OBJECT]  + be   in the same tense of the verb in the active]+ [VERB Past Participle] by [Active Form SUBJECT]
