一般将来时的被动语态
一、一般将来时态的被动语态
当句子的主谓语存在动宾即被动关系时,若动作尚未发生,谓语动词就用一般将来时态的被动语态来表达。一般将来时态的被动语态是把助动词be变为一般将来时态的形式be going to/will be,后跟及物动词的过去分词构成。即“be going to/will+be+及物动词的过去分词”。用be going to结构时,主语单复数体现在be上;用will时,无单复数的变化。
Will books be replaced by computers 电脑将会代替书籍吗
The football match is going to be held at the end of this weekend.这场足球比赛将在本周末举行。
Are the holes going to be dug tomorrow 明天会挖这些坑吗
一般将来时 主语 + will be + 过去分词 + 其他 Your job will be kept open for your return. 你的工作将保留到你回来。When will the work be finished 这项工作什么时候完成?
二、情态动词的被动语态
本模块中还出现了情态动词的被动语态,当主谓语存在动宾即被动关系,谓语动词含有情态动词时,使用情态动词的被动语态。情态动词的被动语态的构成是“情态动词+be+及物动词的过去分词”。
That can be fixed.那可以解决。
A much larger and more varied amount of information can be stored on the Internet than in books.与书籍相比,因特网能储存更多繁杂的信息。
And the machines on which this information can be read are now small and light,often smaller and lighter than a single book.可以阅读这些信息的设备现在又小又轻,通常比一本书还小还轻。
情态动词 主语 + 情态动词 + be + 过去分词 + 其他 Her temperature should be taken twice a day. 她的体温应该一天量两次。If heated, water can be turned into vapour. 如果受热,水会变成蒸气。
