Wotcha ladies. good to see that so many people want to either learn English or develop their knowledge. My advice for learners is to listen to english stuff as much as possible eg BBC, CNN or Baby TV. Keep in mind that the more listening you do, the better and natural english you learn

Are there any grammar mistakes in these two sentences??

A book was given to Bill to read.

A well paid job was offered to him.

:13:

A book was given to Bill to read. = although it doesn't seem grammatically incorrect to me, sounds a bit wierd this way this would be a better choice I guess = "Bill was given a book to read."

A well paid job was offered to him. = It's ok:13:
 

Yeah, of course "Bill was given a book to read" is much more better. But I just wondered whether this sentence "A book was given to Bill to read" correct
or not. Is it suitable to use the preposition "to" twice in such a sentence??:26:Thanks for your care and answer!

Now ı have to put the dishes into the dishwasher so ıt is time to go to the kitchen
 

I think the problem in that sentence is not to use "to" twice coz it's possible.
It seems that as the "book" is the object of the sentence, "to read" should be referring to that; which means it should be like this "A book was given to Bill to be read."
you know it is like "The dishes are waiting in the kitchen to be done."

Yeah, "book" is the object of the sentence but "to read" should be referring to Bill; Bill will do the action of reading, Bill is the doer of the action; so we should use active structure (to read) not the passive structure (to be read)

If we say "A book was given to Bill to be read.", ıt means the book was given to Bill but we dont know whether it will be read by him or somebody else

as you said "Bill will do the action of reading" and the sentence is in the passive form, "to read" also be used in passive form. If we go with "to read", it may lead a misunderstanding of book doing the job.

In order to refer Bill with "to read", we should change the sentence and use it in this form: "Bill was given a book to read."
