Verbs like "tell", "give", "recommend" in passive. My question reffers to the verbs that mean "to do smth. to smbdy". I am confused about which construction is really correct (the information in different sourses differs). Well, examples: I was told a story. A story was told to me. I was told to come the next day. I was told that I should come the next day. It was told to me that I should come the next day. I was given a book. I was recommended a book (seems to be incorrect, isn't it?). I was recommended to read that book. The book was reccomended to me. It was recommended to me to read that book. I was provided access to the database. The access to the database was provided to me. I was shown the exit. The exit was shown to me. The same about verbs "to advise", "to present", "to offer" ans so on. Thanks in advance.
