How can I describe a passive type of touching?

Question

If I touch an item (like a book) intentionally, I might say > I touch the book. Now, if this had happened without my being aware of it, I would not say that *I touched it*, but I also would not say that *the book touched me*. How should I describe this situation?

Answer 1

We do not use the passive tense as commonly in English as other languages such as Spanish. In this case, I would say, "I accidentally touched the book."
