What music are they made to feel relaxed by? (Sounds VERY awkward though, much like a tongue twister : ) |

That �s interesting! I incline to the suggested variant too but how about the rule prohibitting to use the particle �to � after the verb make or it doesn �t concern this instance?! thank you! |

Well, the sentence is correct grammatically because: to make sb do sth BUT to be made to do sth :) They made me give them the keys. BUT I was made to give them the keys. Mysterious language, that English! :) |

Ah, yes. Passive voice. Or as I call it, Yoda-speak. Always searching for fun ways to teach it. |
