I need help! Are these two sentences grammatically correct ? I have question for you guys! Which of the two sentences below are grammatically correct? 1. I truly believe that all deadlines are impossible to meet regardless of amount of time given. 2. I truly believe that all deadlines are impossible to be met regardless of amount of time given. If both of them are grammatically correct, is there any difference in meaning?

The only difference between the two sentences is that the first is active (impossible to meet regardless) and the second is in the passive (impossible to be met regardless). The first sentence connotes the impression that you are referring to yourself in being unable to meet all those impossible deadlines. The second sentence is a more generic statement about deadlines being typically impossible to be met by any body.

1. I truly believe that all deadlines are impossible to meet regardless of THE amount of time given. This one is correct. The other one isn't. You can say: "Deadlines are to be met by tomorrow." But you cannot say: "Deadlines are impossible to be met."

"...regardless of THE amount of time given." Without "the", neither are grammatically correct.
