1. 被动语态
The Passive Voice
构成：be+及物动词的过去分词
主动语态：Workers make cars.
被动语态：Cars are made by workers.结论：谓语动词的执行者作主语，谓语动词为主动语态。
谓语动词的承受者作主语，谓语动词为被动语态。
主要用法：
（1）当我们不知道动词的执行者是谁，或者动作的执行者是谁并不重要时，需要用被动语态。
e.g. Rice is grown in North China.
Silk is produced in Hangzhou.
（2）当我们需要强调动词的承受者时，常用被动语态。
e.g. This knife is used for cutting paper.
The key is used for looking and opening the door.注意：A. 不及物动词通常不能构成被动语态。
B. 情态动词的被动语态由"情态动词＋be＋及物动词的过去分词"
be随着人称和时态而变化。
Step 1 Presentation
2. 过去完成时态的被动语态
过去完成时表示过去某个时间之前已经发完成的动作，即过去完成时的动作发生在"过去的过去"。使用过去完成时，句子中通常要有明显的参照动作或时间状语，这种时态一般不孤立使用。其构成形式是had been/ done被动形式是had been done。

Step 1 Presentation
1. 被动语态
The Passive Voice
构成：be+及物动词的过去分词
主动语态：Workers make cars.
被动语态：Cars are made by workers.结论：谓语动词的执行者作主语，谓语动词为主动语态。
谓语动词的承受者作主语，谓语动词为被动语态。
主要用法：
（1）当我们不知道动词的执行者是谁，或者动作的执行者是谁并不重要时，需要用被动语态。
e.g. Rice is grown in North China.
Silk is produced in Hangzhou.
（2）当我们需要强调动词的承受者时，常用被动语态。
e.g. This knife is used for cutting paper.
The key is used for looking and opening the door.注意：A. 不及物动词通常不能构成被动语态。
B. 情态动词的被动语态由"情态动词＋be＋及物动词的过去分词"
be随着人称和时态而变化。
Step 1 Presentation
2. 过去完成时态的被动语态
过去完成时表示过去某个时间之前已经发完成的动作，即过去完成时的动作发生在"过去的过去"。使用过去完成时，句子中通常要有明显的参照动作或时间状语，这种时态一般不孤立使用。其构成形式是had been/ done被动形式是had been done。
They said that their work had been finished.
他们说他们的工作已经完成了。
He said that when to leave had been decided.
他说已经决定了什么时候离开。
By the time I arrived at the bus station, my friend had been picked up.
