I've got some problem with the pairs of changes below.
They're kinda confusing to me.
Please help analyse it.
Thanks a lot.
1)
Active:
There is a great possibility that Mr. Wong will resign next month.
Passive:
Mr. Wong is believed to be going to resign next month.
Can I change that into this instead?
Mr. Wong is believed to be resigning next month.
2)
Active:
It's likely that they will call a strike for tomorrow.
Passive:
The strike is expected to be called for tomorrow.
In both pairs, the clauses in the original sentences are in future sipmle.
So, if the change in 1 is correct, should 2 be changed into:
The strike is expected to be going to call for tomorrow.
Why is there such a difference between 1 and 2?
thank you very much
