HELEN: The first sentence is good, but in the second one you have used the gerund of "talk" and not the passive voice;-)
You can talk to Susan about the job.
The job was talked about with Susan.
2. She was talked about by Nancy.
1.I talk to my mother almost every day.
2.I was told about we have a day off tomorrow.
2.I was talked by my boss last week.
YADIRINY: Good sentence:-)
HELEN: Thank you!
AYGUL:In your correction to the passive sentence, you are missing a word;-)
I was talked to by my boss last week.
I was talked into this deal.
AYGUL: Both of those versions of the passive voice are correct.
