被动语态
英语中的语态分为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。
以下几种情况常用被动语态:
1) 不知道或没有必要指出谁是动作的执行者;
2) 为了强调动作的承受者;
3) 主语有较长的修饰语时;
4) 通知、公告,新闻报道和科技报道等。
时态 被动语态的构成 例句
一般过去时 was / were +过去分词 I was invited to the talk show yesterday.
过去进行时 was / were + being +过去分词 The roads were being built when I passed by.
过去完成时 had been + 过去分词 All the tickets had been sold out before I arrived.

特殊结构的被动形式
1. 双宾动词的被动结构
双宾动词变为被动结构时, 一般将主动结构中的间接宾语变为被动结构中的主语, 直接宾语不变。
如将主动结构中的直接宾语变为被动结构中的主语, 间接宾语之前则应加介词to或for。
e.g. He gave her some money.
She was given some money.
Some money was given to her.
2. 带复合宾语的动词的被动结构
带复合宾语的动词变被动语态时, 一般将主动结构中的宾语变为被动结构中的主语, 而将宾语补足语保留不动(这时的宾语补足语为主语补足语)。
e.g. His father called him Jack.
He was called Jack by his father.
3. 带情态动词的被动语态,由“情态动词+be+及物动词的过去分词”构成。
e.g. The problem may be solved in a number of different ways.
In our school, library books must be returned in two weeks.
4. “be+过去分词+不定式”式的被动结构
e.g. He is reported to have broken a world record.
She is said to know three languages.
5. “It + be +过去分词+从句”式的被动结构
e.g. It’s said that she has some supernatural powers.
It’s reported that they have discovered a new star.
常见的结构还有:
It is known that... 众所周知
