SUGGEST-RECOMMEND.
Could anyone help me with this doubt??
If I say <<JOHN SUGGESTED/RECOMMENDED THAT I DO MORE PRACTISE".
Can I use the passive form <<I'VE BEEN SUGGESTED/RECOMMENDED BY JOHN THAT I DO MORE PRACTICE??
Is this sentence correct or not??
or those verbs (suggest/recommend) don't have any passive form??
Thanks
