==========================================================
◆Passive sentence of "Part of a human body or personal possessions"◆
   
When you express about a part of a human body, the subject of the passive sentence is わたし. For example, 彼(かれ)は私(わたし)の足(あし)を踏(ふ)みました. In this case, the subject of the passive sentence is not 私(わたし)の足(あし) but it i s私(わたし) .

彼(かれ)は私(わたし)の足(あし)を踏(ふ)みました He stepped on my foot
私(わたし)は彼(かれ)に足(あし)を踏(ふ)まれました
My foot was stepped on by him

ドアは私(わたし)の手(て)をはさみました。The door pinched my hand.
私(わたし)はドアに手(て)をはさまれました。My hand was caught in the door.

お父(とう)さんは弟(おとうと)の頭(あたま)をたたきました。Dad hit my younger brother's head.
弟(おとうと)はお父(とう)さんに頭(あたま)をたたかれました。My brother was hit by his father.

Besides the parts of the human body (ex. Feet, hands), the same thing goes with personal possessions such as "my watch".

犬(いぬ)は靴(くつ)を持(も)っていきました。The dog brought my shoes with him.
私(わたし)は犬(いぬ)に靴(くつ)を持(も)っていかれました。I had my dog bring my shoes.

◆Question sentence◆
