Overview
How This Grammar Works
it शब्द के साथ एक विशेष सूत्र का उपयोग करते हैं। इस it का वास्तव में कोई विशेष अर्थ नहीं है। यह सिर्फ एक प्लेसहोल्डर है। यह हमें बिना किसी व्यक्ति के वाक्य शुरू करने में मदद करता है। फिर हम is और क्रिया के एक विशेष रूप का उपयोग करते हैं जिसे पास्ट पार्टिसिपल (Past Participle) कहा जाता है। अधिकांश क्रियाओं के लिए, यह सिर्फ -ed पर समाप्त होता है। उदाहरण के लिए, say बन जाता है said, और report बन जाता है reported। यह लेगो (LEGO) टावर बनाने जैसा है। आपको it बेस, is ईंट और said टॉप की आवश्यकता है। एक बार जब आपके पास यह टावर हो जाए, तो आप अपनी पसंद का कोई भी समाचार जोड़ सकते हैं। यह नेटफ्लिक्स शो के बारे में बात करने के लिए एकदम सही है जिसे हर कोई देख रहा है। आप कह सकते हैं, «यह कहा जाता है कि नया सीजन अद्भुत है।»
Formation Pattern
it शब्द से शुरू करें। यह आपका «नकली» विषय है।
is जोड़ें। इस पैटर्न में, हम आमतौर पर वर्तमान काल में रहते हैं।
say, think, believe, या report हैं। ये said, thought, believed, और reported बन जाती हैं।
that शब्द जोड़ें।
It + is + Past Participle + that + [वाक्य]
When To Use It
Common Mistakes
is शब्द को भूलना है। बहुत से लोग It is said that...के बजाय
It said that... कहते हैं। is के बिना, वाक्य अधूरा लगता है। यह बिना पहियों वाली कार जैसा है! एक और गलती गलत क्रिया रूप का उपयोग करना है। याद रखें, आपको पास्ट पार्टिसिपल की आवश्यकता है। It is say that...या
It is think that...न कहें। आपको
said और thought का उपयोग करना चाहिए। साथ ही, that शब्द को न भूलें। हालांकि आप कभी-कभी आकस्मिक बातचीत में इसे छोड़ सकते हैं, लेकिन निष्पक्षता के लिए इसे रखना बेहतर है। अंत में, अपनी व्यक्तिगत भावनाओं के लिए इसका उपयोग न करें। यदि आपको आइसक्रीम पसंद है, तो यह न कहें कि «माना जाता है कि मुझे आइसक्रीम पसंद है।» ऐसा लगता है जैसे आप एक वैज्ञानिक प्रयोग हैं! बस कहें «मुझे आइसक्रीम पसंद है।» इस पैटर्न का उपयोग केवल सामान्य राय या तथ्यों के लिए करें।Contrast With Similar Patterns
be + पास्ट पार्टिसिपल का उपयोग करता है। हालांकि, ऑब्जेक्टिव पैसिव अलग है क्योंकि यह it का उपयोग करता है। «खिड़की टूट गई थी» में, हम जानते हैं कि क्या टूटा था। «यह कहा जाता है कि...» में, it एक पूरे विचार का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है। इसकी तुलना «लोग कहते हैं...» या «वे कहते हैं...» से भी करें। ये एक्टिव हैं और बहुत अनौपचारिक हैं। यदि आप किसी दोस्त को मैसेज भेज रहे हैं, तो «वे कहते हैं कि बारिश होने वाली है» ठीक है। लेकिन अगर आप मौसम की रिपोर्ट लिख रहे हैं, तो «यह बताया गया है कि बारिश होगी» बहुत बेहतर है। एक सोफे के लिए है, दूसरा ऑफिस के लिए है। दोनों का अर्थ एक ही है, लेकिन वाइब अलग है। एक हुडी है, दूसरा ब्लेज़र है। जब आप प्रभावित करना चाहते हैं तो ब्लेज़र चुनें!Quick FAQ

Smart Tips
Swap them for 'It is thought that' or 'It is believed that' to instantly boost your academic tone.
Use 'It is rumored that' to distance yourself from the gossip.
Remember that 'It says' is for written words, but 'It is said' is for spoken beliefs.
Use 'It is reported that' to introduce your main facts.
उच्चारण
Weak 'It is'
In natural speech, 'It is' is often reduced to 'It's' or the 'is' becomes very short.
Stress on the Verb
The stress usually falls on the reporting verb (said, thought, believed) to emphasize the nature of the information.
Reporting Intonation
It is reported ↗ that the weather will be nice ↘.
A slight rise on the reporting verb followed by a fall at the end of the sentence.
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
IT IS SAID: Information Transferred Is Simply Stated As Indirect Data.
दृश्य संबंध
Imagine a news anchor behind a desk. They aren't saying 'I think,' they are pointing to a screen that says 'IT IS REPORTED.' The anchor is just a messenger for the 'It'.
Rhyme
When you don't know who to blame, use 'It is said' to hide the name.
Story
A secret agent needs to share a rumor without getting caught. Instead of saying 'I heard the boss is a spy,' he leaves a note that says 'It is rumored that the boss is a spy.' The 'It' protects his identity.
Word Web
चैलेंज
Look at a news website for 5 minutes. Try to find one sentence that starts with 'It is reported that' or 'It is believed that.' If you can't find one, rewrite a headline using this structure.
सांस्कृतिक नोट्स
British news (like the BBC) uses this structure very frequently to maintain a 'neutral' and 'unbiased' tone, which is a core value of British journalism.
In Western universities, using 'I think' in an essay is often discouraged. Students are taught to use 'It is argued that' to make their arguments sound more objective.
In US and UK law, 'It is alleged that' is used to talk about crimes before a person is found guilty. This avoids 'defamation' (saying something untrue that hurts a reputation).
The use of 'It' as a dummy subject (expletive) dates back to Old English, but the formal impersonal passive became popular in Middle English as a way to mimic Latin's objective style.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
Yes! Use 'It was said that' to report something people believed in the past. For example: `It was thought that the Earth was the center of the universe.`
In casual speech, yes. `It's said he's rich.` But in formal writing, you should always include it: `It is said that he is rich.`
Only 'reporting verbs' work. Common ones are: `say, think, believe, know, report, expect, claim, suggest, rumor, allege`.
Yes, the meaning is the same, but 'It is said that' is much more formal and objective.
In English, every sentence needs a subject. Since we don't want to say WHO said it, we use 'It' as a placeholder or 'dummy' subject.
Yes. `It is not believed that the situation will improve.` This is a very formal way to express doubt.
Yes, it is common in both American and British English, especially in news and formal documents.
The meaning is identical, but the grammar is different. 'It is said that' is followed by a full sentence, while 'He is said to' is followed by a verb.
