grammar - Why is を used with passive form here?



1. 頭が真っ白になる。何も考えられなくなる。意識が断線する。彼女は自由を奪われた。「檻の鍵は、どこ?」 息を吹きかけるように、囁くように耳元へ声を添えられる



2.学生は先生に名前を聞かれました。



How do I interpret this? Are they suffering passives?


Thanks!



Answer



Some verbs can take both a direct and an indirect object. For those verbs in passive form, the indirect object is (generally) marked with が or は and the direct object is marked with を.


Passive:


私が先生に名前を聞かれました

Active:



先生が私の名前を聞きました
