语态是动词的一种形式,用以表示主语和谓语之间的关系。当主语是谓语动作的执行者,则为主动语态;当主语是谓语动作的承受者,则为被动语态。只有及物动词才有被动语态。
被动语态
一、被动语态的构成
1. “be + 及物动词过去分词”构成被动语态。
被动语态发生时态变化时只变be的形式,过去分词不变。
二、何时使用被动语态
1. 不清楚谁是动作的执行者。
① His bike was stolen.
② He was wounded in the fight.
2. 没有必要或不想指出动作的执行者时。
① Paper was first made in China.
② Do you know when the building was
built
3. 需要强调或突出动作的承受者时。
① Pairs is visited by more than eight
million tourists every year.
② This painting was painted by him.
三、不同时态的被动语态
1. 一般现在时的被动语态是由“am / is /
are+及物动词的过去分词”构成。
e.g. Amy is considered to be the best
singer in the group.
Customers are advised to buy their
tickets in advance.
2. 一般过去时的被动语态是由“was / were+及物动词的过去分词”构成。
e.g. The local cinema was closed down
three years ago.
When they got to the police station,
they were immediately questioned.
温馨提示
1. 不及物(短语)动词没有被动语态。
2. 某些及物动词(短语) 如:have, fit, equal, cost, wish, look like, belong to等也没有被动语态。
e.g. The book cost him 30 dollars.
