Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Use the active voice instead of the passive when describing participation. For example, prefer "entities that participate" over the grammatically incorrect "entities that are participated".
Common error
Avoid using "are participated" because it's not standard English. If you intend to use passive voice, the correct construction would be "are participated in". However, active voice is often clearer and more concise.

Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, the phrase "that are participated" is grammatically incorrect in standard English. Ludwig AI confirms this assessment. The correct form would either be "that are participated in" (passive voice, less common) or "that participate" (active voice, more common and generally preferred). Although examples exist, they are infrequent and do not represent standard usage. When writing, it is advisable to use alternative phrasing such as "that are involved" or "that take part" to ensure grammatical correctness and clarity. The phrase is found in both Science and News & Media but should be avoided in formal writing without modification.
