Cook-passive
Hello,
1. He cooked me lunch.
My grammar book suggests that if a verb has two objects, take the direct object as the subject while converting the active sentence into the passive sentences. According the rule as stated above, If I convert the (1) into the passive sentence e.g
2. I was cooked lunch.
It is also possible to take the indirect object as a subject while converting the above sentence into the passive voice.
3. Lunch was cooked for me.
The book suggests that the passive sentence formed taking the direct object as the subject of the passive sentence is more usual.
Which one is correct between (2) and (3)?
Could any one here explain about the formation of the passive voice if the verb has two objects?
Thanks.
