verbs - Active construction of 'Our team is so blessed...'?


Would anybody specify the active form of the following passive sentence.



Our team is so blessed to have each other




Also please let me know the significance of "have" in the above sentence.


I really appreciate any help you can provide



Answer



In your sentence, 'blessed' has the idea of 'fortunate. 'Our team is blessed' is not really a passive construction.


If you are deeply religious, you may feel that it is passive, suggesting "God has blessed our team", but you then need to change the rest of the sentence to something like "in giving us each other".
