ToSlide

We have a similar problem to ToInclude with

1) It slid

2) I slid it

Again, it is confusing by having something jump between subject and object. By separating the active agent, we get

This is showing the equivalence of

Do you want to slide it through
Do you want to make it slide through

We would need to differentiate in collocations between

I slid through
I slid it through
It was slid through

We could use whether the grammatical structure was

Active Transitive
Active Intransitive
Passive

to create the right connections.

To slide an abstract thing past is to avoid detection.
