Hi, could someone tell me if I an correct or not? I am comparing these two sentences:-
1. We need to do something about poverty in the world.
2. There needs to be something done about poverty in the world.
I think the first sentence is personal because of "we" and the second is impersonal because of "there". But is 2 passive? In sentence 2 is "there" the subject and "need" the verb.
Sorry for all the questions in one and thanks for your help.
