English Gramma problem

1) Those rules are made to be broken.
( grammar 錯 ~ rule 要 plural form)

這句子可以有兩個 passive, 但是 main verb 只有一個 "are made"

"to be broken" 不是 adjective phrase, 是 infinitive phrase, passive infinitive

broken 雖然可以做 adjective, 例如 broken home, broken promise, broken window .. etc
但在這裡做 past participle, forming a passive infinitive

整句子是 present simple tense, in passive voice, 不是 perfect tense
如果是 present perfect (passive), 要用 have been made, has been made

這句子意意是
It is good and acceptable to not obey a rule. ~ from Cambridge English Dictionary

Comment:
There are times when we should think for ourselves and not obey every rule blindly. No rule is meant to be followed all the time - there are exceptions to every rule. Use our intelligence to follow the rules.


2) "Remember never break the rules!" 不是 rhetoric sentence.

Rhetoric (noun) [修辭學]:
~ The art of using language so as to persuade or influence others; the body of rules to be observed by a speaker or writer in order to achieve effective or eloquent expression.

An example:

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."
~ by John Kennedy, the American President

其他例子

He is the right man in the right place at the right time.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Rhetoric 有用 present/future, 多用 present tense
我例子好像與 grammar 無關, 只不過舉例說明 rhetorical sentence 係咩
抱歉我不明白你最後問題 ”can we change the tense in a rhetoric sentence”, 為什麼轉 tense?

GRAMMAR＜----------

(1)TO BE BROKEN =ADJ PHRASE QUALIFYING RULE.
-----ARE MADE=PRESENT PERFECT TENSE.
-----(GRAMMAR) ACTIVE/PASSIVE VOICE IS THE FORM OF A VERB THAT SHOWS WHETHER THE SUBJECT OF A SENTENCE DOES AN ACTION OR HAS AN ACTION DONE TO IT. NOW IT IS AN ACTION DONE TO IT.

(2)RHETORIC LANGUAGE IS USED TO PERSUADE OR INFLUENCE PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY LANGUAGE THAT SOUNDS IMPRESSIVE BUT IS NOT ACTUALLY SINCERE OR USEFUL;HENCE THE ART OF SPEAKING OR WRITING TO PERSUADE OR INFLUENCE PEOPLE. EG:- A SPEECH(NEVER BREAK THE RULES) IS FULL OF A RHETORICAL PHRASE.
