In addition to the usual way of switching 하다 with 되다 to make a passive verb – there is another (similar) way of making these verbs passive. This can only be done with certain verbs (usually acting on people), and is done by switching 하다 with 받다 (to receive). For example:

저는 저의 형을 존경해요 - I respect my brother
저의 형은 존경 받아요 - My brother is respected (literally-my brother receives respect)

The same rules apply with ~에 and ~에게 as described previously:

교장선생님은 선생님들에게 존경받아요 - The principal is respected by the teachers
나는 너의 말에* 감동받았어 - I was impressed with what you said
*Remember that 말하다 means "to speak." By removing 하다, 말 becomes the noun form of "speak," which is "words/the thing you said/what you said/etc..."
