Explanation

This grammar expresses that something is regarded, believed, or thought to be a certain way by people in general or in a given context. It conveys a tentative or objective assessment rather than the speaker’s strong personal belief. Use it when presenting something that is widely considered or reasonably presumed based on evidence or common sense.
