[@sergboorow5868]

Hey Mark, how's it hanging!? So it turns out that this figure of speech (to be taken aback) is chiefly used in passive voice and therefore the verb that is used should be put in past participle form I suppose. Is it the case?

[@MadEnglishTV]

You’re right!

[@Tarikenglish-36]

Mark we can also say for example I'm astonished

[@MadEnglishTV]

Yes
