What's the difference between this two sentences:
電車の中で足を踏まれました。
電車の中で足を踏んでもらいました。
Sorry if it's desolate but I've countered an exercise about this and I haven't seen any explanation elsewhere. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I think I got an idea. The second sentence is wrong because the bad thing happen to the speaker, is that correct?
Yes, that's right. 〜てもらう means "to recieve a favor of doing", so it's used when the subject benefits from it.
The first one is what's called "indirect passive."
