Ditransitive verbs used in the passive construction




I II
to allow to give to grant to lend to offer to pay to promise to teach to tell to ask to answer to envy to forgive to refuse

 

Verbs in group I follow the usage explained in the previous part of this section. The same refers to group II with the difference that all the verbs of this group are followed by two direct objects, though in the passive the difference is not so distinct.

 

I was asked a lot of questions.

 

Restrictions on the use of the passive of ditransitive verbs

 

1. The indirect passive is impossible with verbs of benefaction, when the action is performed for the benefit of somebody.

 

They bought me a dictionary. The corresponding direct passive is: They bought a dictionary for me. A dictionary was bought for me.

 

2. The same applies to the verbs with the obligatory to of the type to explain something to somebody (to describe, to dictate, to suggest, etc.). With these only the direct passive is possible:

 

The rule was explained to them once more.

 

3. In verb-phrases containing a non-prepositional and a preposi­tional object only the non-prepositional passive is possible.

 

I was told about their victory.

Oliver was accused of theft.

 

4. The infinitive cannot be used as the subject of the passive construc­tion with a ditransitive verb.
