Firstly, I guessed it's right, Mishaikh. But, now I'm doubt.
As my study, 'depend on' can't be changed into passive.
example: My future depends on this test (active). This test is depended on (by) my future (incorrect passive).
I need to enlightenment from you, or another teachers here..
Thanks, :)

My future depends on this test.
My future is depended on this test.
This is a bit advance level.
Your passing of this test depends upon how hard you prepare.

Depending upon time I will come to see you.
You would be seen by me depending upon time.
When you think it over, I will talk to you.
When it is thought over by you, you would be talked to by me.
Waww, Mishaikh. Wonderful explanation.. I need much time to understood, hehe
The first four sentences, only verbs is changed. So, "depend on" can't be changed into passive? Am I wrong?
You would be seen by me depending upon time --> "depending upon time" only as a complement.
Some verbs that I found can't be changed into passive: occur, rise, happen, arise, fall, exist, consist (of), depend (on).
When YOU think IT'S OVER, I will talk TO YOU. --> so this type of sentences is the same with "I focus on MONEY"?
Thanks, Mishaikh. :)

Teacher Mishaikh, I understood the sentences you made. But what I asked is
Do the verbs "depend on" and "focus on" both can be changed into passive voice?
I'm just not sure. Glad to hear your explanation. :)
Thanks, I tried the practice and all corrected. :)
You must try to do with some complex sentenses, too, Onee.
Money is focused on by me.
