sleep可以作为放置的意思

Oh, really?  I heard of this for the first time. If what you said is right, it seems that some verb can be passive only when it can be transitive. That is to say, sleep can not be passive when it is intransitive and stands for a state of sleep.

the thing is that we dont talk about a word when it is only a word. grammar is to serve sentences. dont make a certain rule for any word, it is like limiting their usage.

The grammar itselft is a certain kind of rule that governs how to use the words appropriately for better communications. It is not a matter of making rules, but how we use the words correctly in logic. So I still disagree that every verb can be passive.

Reference: https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E8 ... 81/87467?fr=aladdin
Please see the end of third line, "be + transitive verb". Note that it is "transitive verb" not every verb.

Another reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_passive_voice
You can also find the similar result from wikipead by searching "transitive verb".

depends on how you use it. e.g., the bag was slept on the floor

well, maybe my words are ambiguous. i appreciated all of you that participation in how to use the passive form "appeared to",though what i truely wanna know is that if it is approprate to use an uncertain tone such as "appear to" in essay to declaim one's conclusion. anyway, thank you .
