话说语态
语态是动词的一种形式,用来说明主语和谓语动词之间的关系。
英语动词有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执
行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。本章着重讲被动语态。
被动语态是动词的一种特殊形式,表示句子中的主语是动作的承受者,也就
是动作的对象。通常情况下,只有需要动作对象的及物动词才有被动语态。汉语里
往往用“被”、“受”、“给”等词来表示被动意义。

被动语态的构成形式
英语动词的被动语态是由助动词be+及物动词的过去分词构成。助动词be
有时态、人称和数的变化,其变化规则同连系动词be完全一样。主动语态的句子
结构与被动语态的句子结构如下:
动作的发出者+主动语态动词+动作的接受者(主动语态)
主语
谓语
宾语
动作的接受者+被动语态动词(+动词过去分词)+(by+动作的发出者)(被动语态)
主语
谓语
宾语
