00 in somewhere I came across that we can't use past simple of the verb "beat" 02 br
02 br
00 for example, yesterday James beat John . 02 br
02 br
00 instead we say, John was beaten by James yesterday. 02 br
02 br
00 This is really straange, because in many languages they use the first sentence firstly. 0-
