Answer:

Please tell us complete question

Answer 2

The complete question is:

He is said to have been in the army.

(Begin with: People)

People say that he has been in the army.

• On starting a sentence with 'people', we need to add a reporting verb first.

• Here, the reporting verb is 'say' ( plural form to be used as 'people' is a plural subject).

• The word 'that' has been used to introduce a subordinate clause in the sentence.

• The words 'has been' is used with present perfect tense or to describe something that has started in the past and is still continuing.
