    Bonjour vaiana

    1. They didn’t explain to the shareholders the reasons for the change of policy.
    The shareholders weren't explained to the reasons for the change of policy. en principe impossible, on ne dit pas to explain somebody something, mais seulement to explain something to somebody, donc "somebody" ne peut pas être le sujet de la phrase passive
    The reasons for the change of policy weren't explained to the shareholders.

    2. The teachers have made the children learn the list of the American states.
    The children were gardez le même temps qu'à l'actif made xx learn the list of the American states.
    The list of the American states were le sujet est "the list" learned by the children. oui, mais la notion de factitif ("faire faire") disparaît.

    3. People say that the president speaks Japanese very fluently.
    The president is said to speak Japanese very fluently.

    4. Some people would like the Prime Minister to resign.
    The Prime Ministed would be liked to resign. Normalement, to want et to like suivis d'un infinitif ne se mettent pas au passif, cf Michael Swann, Practical English Usage, 418.6.

    Hello vaiana

    La consigne est claire : "Fabriquez une nouvelle phrase en passivant le verbe souligné, quand c’est possible."

    Si ce n'est pas le cas, indiquez "impossible".
