It isn �t passive. That is the clock that used to strike day and night. (The clock is the subject that does the verb. ) |

Either way the sentence sounds a little strange (to strike day and night?), but "that" and "that is" have two different meanings: "That is the clock that used to strike day and night." --past tense, it doesn �t strike anymore. "That is the clock that is used to strike day and night." --we currently/regularly use the clock to strike day and night. Cheers, Douglas |
