Hi everyone,
I am studying about forming passive sentences. And I am confusing when we can make a passive form of 2- or 3-word verbs. For instances, we can say: either "Martha talked me into buying a bike" or "I was talked into buying a bike". But we say: "I had to put out a hand to steady myself" rather than: "A hand was put out ...".
Is there any principles about how we can make a passive form of 2- or 3-word verbs?
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
