So if I wanted to say 'I shoved him', I would just replace Tom with 'lui', right?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Exactly, you would replace 'Tom' with 'lui'. So the correct translation of 'I shoved him' would be 'Spinsi lui'."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Great, I think I understand now. What if I wanted to say 'I was shoved' instead? Would I use the same verb?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, you would still use the verb'spingere', but you would conjugate it differently to indicate that you were the one being shoved. The correct translation of 'I was shoved' would be 'Sono stato spinto' (male speaker) or 'Sono stata spinta' (female speaker)."}]
