What is Personal vs. Impersonal Passive Voice about?

The document discusses two types of passive constructions: personal passive and impersonal passive. [1] Personal passive involves making the direct object of an active sentence the subject of the passive sentence. [2] Impersonal passive uses "it is said" and involves verbs that do not take direct objects, making the subject of the following clause the subject of the passive sentence. Impersonal passive is less common in English than personal passive but can be used with perception verbs.
