Hi. Nice sentences. Thx (+1). I think "He was gathered to his father" is closer to:

روحش به پدرش پیوست (به پدرش ملحق شد)

Do you think it's a good translation?

you're welcome

Which sentence appeals to you best?

---

I like the fourth one better.

Hi, I think u should remove "been" from the 1-6th sentences

---

Hi,

The cat is run over by the car. It is the object of the sentence, not the subject. So it must be used in the passive format.

---

Hi

The origin of the 1st sentence was this

I saw a cat which had been run over and taking its last breath on my way back home yesterday.

Am I right??????

*So when u r going to reduce an adj clause to an adj phrase in the form of passive

u need to omit the relative pron & the auxiliaries (been), what remains in the sentence

is only the past participle

Here it is

I saw a cat run over and taking its last breath on my way back home yesterday.

Am I making sense or not????

Sure.s

I just learned that "sure" can be an answer to "thank u"
