Passive voice被动语态
语态是动词的一种形式,表示的是主语和谓语之间的关系。英语中的语态有两种:主动语态和被动语态。
当主语是谓语的执行者时,用主动语态。当主语是谓语的承受者时,用被动语态。如:
We clean the classroom every day.
我们每天都打扫教室。
The classroom is cleaned (by us) every day.
教室每天都被(我们)打扫。汉语中用“被”、“给”、“由”、“受”等词表示被动,而英语用:
助动词be + 及物动词的过去分词构成。
The lights were turned off by Tom.
The windows are cleaned every week.
Millie closed the door.
The TV was turned on.
The boy made a model plane.
A total(总数) of 8 questions are answered.

主语 谓语动词被动语态的过去分词 介词+ 宾语
被动语态的基本用法
主动句变为被动句所遵循的4个步骤:
1 把原主动句中的宾语变为被动句的主语。
2 把动词变为被动形式即be +过去分词,并注意其人称和数随主语的变化,而动词的时态则保持不变。
3 原主动句的主语如需要则放在by后面以它的宾格形式出现(注代词的宾格),如不需要则可省略。
4 其它的成分(定语、状语)不变。
My mother sweeps the floor every day.
The floor is swept (by my mother) every day.
None of the books was taken away.
没有一本书被拿走。
动作的执行者是泛指或者不言自明时。
被动语态的基本用法
The toy is designed for children.
在不知道动作的执行者是谁时。
这款玩具是为孩子们设计的。
需要强调动作的承受者时。
My bike was repaired.
我的自行车修好了。
The problem was talked about just now.
出于委婉或礼貌而避谈动作的执行者时。
这个问题刚才被讨论过。
Mr Wu is liked by all of his students.
所有的学生都喜欢吴老师。
在被动语态的句子中, 如果我们需要指出动作的执行者, 可以由by引出。
