Learn English – ‘conclusion can be reached’ – sentence structure problem

grammar

I have a problem with sentence structure, when I use 'conclusion can be reached' in this context.

I have the following sentences:

  1. When reviewing [Name of Bank] reports, can be reached to conclusion that …
  2. When reviewing [Name of Bank] reports, the conclusion can be reached that …

I am not sure, which sentence is correct?

Thanks!

Actually, there is grammatically little difference between reaching a conclusion, or say, reaching the other side of the river.

The other side of the river can be reached by bridge.

This seems clear - however:

Can be reached the other side of the river by bridge.

Does not seem to make much sense.

In a similar way, a conclusion can be reached, but not *"can be reached a conclusion". - let alone *"can be reached to conclusion".

So your second sentence is the correct one :)
