Hi

Can the verb 'stand' be used in passive voice?

  1. Most people cannot stand such behavior.
  2. Who can stand such heat?

I mean something like this.

Such behavior cannot be stood.

Thanks,

Tom

I think some Brits say things like

I was stood standing there for hours.

but I don't think it's considered standard. Emotion: smile

Anyway, it doesn't have the meaning of 'stand' that you're interested in.

No.’

You could say … cannot be endured/tolerated’.
