Another question on passive Thanks again for the help with my previous question. I would be grateful if someone could help with another question on the passive. If I want to write the following sentence; ‘I am paid by my company ‘ I’m not sure whether the ‘company’ would be classed as a ‘person’ and hence use ‘von’ Ich werde ‘von der Firma’ bezahlt or as an ‘object/instrument’ and instead use ‘mit’ Ich werde ‘durch die Firma’ bezahlt I’m guessing the latter sounds more probable but would appreciate someone’s expertise in ensuring the correct translation. Thanks Laura
