	Mister Micawber  +  302165 Sat, 09 Dec 06 02:23 PM Hello Mohsen. Unfortunately, I see no good way of converting your sentences to passive mood. I have to send a present to my father -- (?) A present to my father has to be sent (by me).   My father has to have a present sent him (by me).  Both very odd and awkward; they would never appear in real English. I don't like people who tell me what to do -- I don't like being told what to do (by people).  Not bad, but we have lost the point.
