How do you say... 'while being chased by a group of angry bulls'?

Question

Answer 1

I would say: Mientras ser perseguido por un grupo de toros enojados.

You need to conjugate the verb here.

but you could say: Cuando era perseguido por un grupo de toros enojados

That's at least grammatically correct, but the passive "ser" won't work like in English here. I'd say:

Mientras me perseguía un grupo de toros enojados.

I would say: Cuando el grupo de torros enfadados me cazaban. Whatever...

That's correct, but "cuando" is not "while", and "cazar" is not a good translation for "chase" here, so your sentence is essentially different.
