14-passive verb Dear all
Hello
Is it correct that only (Transitive Verbs) can be used in passive ? Or (Intransitive verbs ) can be used as well?
Thanks a million

Re: 14-passive verb There's no object with an intransitive verb, so you can't make a passive because there's nothing to become the subject.
