Need help with grammar please?

Hi There,

Can you check for me if the second sentence is grammatical, please?


I was/got stuck in mathematics. (Passive voice)

I stuck in mathematic. (Active voice) Can this be grammatical?


Thanks.

John Aki I stuck in mathematic s . (Active voice) Can this be grammatical? The verb "stick" can be used intransitively in some cases, but this is a pretty strange and unnatural sentence.
