2) He lied in the bed.
On the other hand, what if the sentences is like these?
1) A gentleman spoke to her.
2) We can't think of such a thing.
3) We have never heard of him since.
4) No one has ever spoken to me like that before.

6) I gave up this job.

2) Such a thing can't be thought of by us.
3) He have never been heard of by us since.
4) I never have been spoken to by anyone like that before.
5) He is spoken well of by people.
