The passive gains and losses are neted together. If the result is positive it is reported as ordinary income. If the result is a loss, the remaining loss gets carried forward to a year when it can be offset aginst future passive income.

yes, just as the person above said, they are blended to result in either a gain or a loss

The PIGs offset the PALs. Therefore, always look for PIGs (Passive income generators) for your PALs (Passive activity losses) if that helps you remember it.
