Passivisation
so i'm on to passivisation now and having a couple troubles.
Can these sentences be passivised,
1) these flowrs wilt easly under the hot sun
- I don't think it can because there is no direct object and "under the sun" is an adverbial
2) Steve Jabby is one of the most important and most popular american referee of our time
- I again dont think this can because there is no direct object that can become the subject
3) Michael jordan does not find all the film versions of his books acceptable.
I am having trouble with this one, i think it can be passivized into " all the film versions of his books were not found acceptible by Michael Jordan"
thanks

the first 2 can\t be passivised 'cause they have no direct object
the 3rd can be passivised but be aware!...you should keep the TENSE when you passivise...so the correct would be " all the film versions of this books ARE not found acceptable by M J.
