Hi! ellanovella...

Let me show one example.

- My hair needs to be washed.

By the way, we can also say using gerund, as in My hair needs washing.

Is it possible to use the gerund form for the same meaning inested of the passive infinitive?

Thanks..

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but in both of these instances "need" should be "needs"

Could you please elaborate on your question?
