 |
|
hello everybody,
today i've got a big problem. I have to change some sentences in the passive tense and one of these makes some trouble. Could you help me please?
Nobody has ever spoken to me like that
My worK: To me nobody has ever been spoken like that.
I guess there is a failure in the sentence. Could you please help me to make it better.

| I have never been spoken to like that! Take out the agent "nobody" when you change to passive. |

But if you want to include the agent, you would change nobody to anybody (because never is negative, and you don't want two negative words):
I have never been spoken to like that by anybody. |
