Fail and pass In Spanish, we can say either "Suspendí el examen" or "La profesora me suspendió". Similarly, we can say either "Aprobé/pasé el examen" or "La profesora me aprobó la asignatura/el examen". How would you say the second form ("The teacher...") with both aprobar o suspender? Is it possible to get that nuance? Cheers! PS: (I am not implying t that "Suspendí el examen" and "La profesora me suspendió" have exactly the same meaning. Same results, same event, but slightly different meaning. Obviously, if you failed the exam, it was because your teacher "sentenced" you. But in this case she is not the protagonist of the sentence. In the other one, though, she is the central subject of the action.)
