    Passive voice
    I am reading a book called "Persuasion" by Jane Austen and there is a sentence that called my attention: "Lady Russell had not been arrived five minutes the day before..."I can't understand why the verb "arrive" is used in the passive voice if it is an intransitive verb. If possible, supply spanish equivalent. Thanks!!
