Dear ATEG,
   How about the difference between passive and description? Consider the
following two sentences:

Paper was littered all over the floor. Is this littered not the complement
after the linking verb?

Paper was littered all over the floor by Howard. Is this the passive because
there is now a prepositional phrase?

I would love a reply.
