Hello, I would like to ask you for help with the phrase 'avoid something from being done'.
The example is 'The doctors are doing their best to avoid the amputation of his leg'
and then with the use of avoid 'The doctors are doing their best to avoid his leg from being amputated'- is this sentence correct?? If not how should I paraphrase it?:roll:
I feel I need more clarification about the usage of 'avoid' with the passive voice.
Thank you in advance!
