Passive forms
Hi,
I know that we can form the passive voice by using:
[Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb]
The window is broken----> means(some one broke the window)
my question is:
I get confused about how to use the verb fall in a correct passive sentence.
Thank you in advance
