9-2. Пассив с непереходными глаголами

Иногда в виде исключения это возможно:

Someone has set on my hat. My hat has been sat on.
Jack hasn't slept in his bed. His bed hasn't been slept in.
The distance has never been walked/run in under five minutes before.
No conclusion was come to/arrive at.

И кроме того, пассив возможен с предложными глаголами, которые вообще во многих смыслах похожи на переходные:

All the expenditure has now been accounted for.
Have these goods been paid for?
He is a man who is always listened to.

Looked at in this way, the affair is not so serious.
