态要与原句时态保持一致,其谓语动词的数要与新主语保持一致。
We have bought a new computer. 一、语态分类
A new computer has been bought. (正确) 英语动词有两种语态,主动语态和被动语态。主
A new computer have been bought. (错误) 动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语
2.含有双宾语的主动句变被动句时,可分别将其是动作的承受者。如:
中的一个宾语变为主语,另一个不动,一般变间接宾They will build a new bridge over the river. (主动)
语为主语时比较多。 A new bridge will be built over the river. (被动)
My uncle gave me a present on my birthday. 汉语中常用“被”、“给”、“由”、“受”等词用来
I was given a present on my birthday. (保留宾语) 表示被动,而英语用:助动词be+及物动词的过去分
如果把直接宾语(指物)改为主语,则在间接宾语词构成。
(指人)前加适当的介词,如上句还可以说: 二、被动语态的时态、人称和数的变化
A present was given to me yesterday. (1)主要体现在be的变化上,其形式与系动词be
注意:一般在下列动词后,常在间接宾语前用介的变化形式完全一样。以give为例,列表如下:
词to,如:bring, give, hand, lend, offer, pass, pay, promise, 一般现在时:am / is / are + given
sell, show, take, teach, tell 等。 一般过去时:was / were +given
The cup with mixture was showed to the class.
一般将来时:shall / will + given
My bike was lent to her.
一般过去将来时:should / would + given
一般在下列动词后,间接宾语前用介词for如:
现在进行时:am / is / are + being + given build, buy, cook, cut, choose, do, fetch, find, fix, get, keep, 过去进行时:was / were + being + given make, order, paint, play, sing 等。 现在完成时:have / has + been + given Mother made me a new skirt. (A new skirt was made 过去完成时:had + been + given for me.)
The meat was cooked for us. 将来完成时:shall / will + have been + given
Some country music was played for us. 过去将来完成时:should / would + have been + given
有些既不用to也不用for,根据动词与介词的搭配注:被动语态没有将来进行时和过去将来进行时。
(2)含有情态动词的被动语态:含有情态动词的被关系。
He ask me a question. (A question was asked of me.) 动语态是由“情态动词+be+及物动词的过去分词”构
People all over the world know the Great Wall. 成。
The Great Wall is known to people all over the world.
①You must hand in your compositions after class.
(不用by短语)
Your compositions must be handed in after class. 3.由动词+介词或副词构成的短语动词,要把它们②He can write a great many letters with the computer.
A great many letters can be written with the computer 作为整体看,即把它们看成一个及物动词,介词或副
词不可拆开或漏掉。这类动词有: by him.
不及物动词+介词,如:agree to, ask for, laugh at, (3)主动语态变被动语态的方法:
operated on, listen to, look after, think of, talk about等。 ①My aunt invited me to her dinner party.
The patient is being operated on. 主语 谓语 宾语
The problem is solved. It needn't be talked about. → I was invited (by my aunt ) to her dinner party.
及物动词+副词:如:bring about, carry out, find out, 主语 谓语 宾语
give up, hand in, make out, pass on, point out, put away,
②The school set up a special class to help poor readers.
put off, think over, turn down, work out, turn out等。
→A special class to help poor readers was set up in the
His request was turned down.

1.把主动语态的宾语变成被动语态的主语。 weather. 2.把主动语态的谓语变成被动语态的be+过去分4.带复合宾语(宾语+宾补)的动词改为被动语态词,时态要与原句保持一致。 时,一般把主动结构中的宾语改为主语,而宾语补足
3.把主动语态的主语变为介词by 的宾语,放在被语保留在谓语动词后面。如: 动语态里谓语动词之后,by短语可以省略。如果原句We always keep the classroom clean. 主语是地点名词,在被动语态中用in+地点名词作状→The classroom is always kept clean. 语。 She told us to follow her instructions.
(4)语态转换时所注意的问题: →We were told to follow her instructions. 1.把主动语态变为被动语态时,其谓语动词的时注意:在see, watch, hear, notice, listen to, look at,
被动语态详解

make, feel等动词后作宾语补足语的动词不定式都不带 to,但改成被动语态后都带to,这时不定式为主语补足语,也就是说不定式作主语补足语不存在省略to 的问题。
We often hear him play the guitar. →He is often heard to play the guitar.
注意:带有复合宾语的句子,如果宾语补足语是名词,变被动句时,应将宾语变为主语,不要误把宾语补足语的名词作主语。如:
Tomatoes were first taken back to Europe and people called them love apples. 误:Love apples were called them. 正:They were called love apples.
还有一种短语动词由动词+名词+介词构成,变被动语态有两种形式,如下: ①We take good care of the books. The books are taken good care of. Good care is taken of the book.
②You must pay attention to your pronunciation. Attention must be paid to your pronunciation. Your pronunciation must be paid attention to. 用于这类结构的短语动词常见的有:catch sight of, make use of, pay attention to, set fire to, take care of, take hold of, take notice of, keep an eye on等。
当主动句的主语是nobody, no one等含有否定意义的不定代词时,被动句中将其变为anybody,作by的宾语,并将谓语动词变为否定的被动语态。如:
Nobody can answer this question.
误:The question can be answered by nobody. 正:The question can not be answered by anybody.
7.当否定句中的宾语是anything, anybody, anyone等不定代词时,在被动句中应将其分别变为nothing, nobody, no one做主语,并将谓语动词变为肯定的被动语态。如:
They haven't done anything to make the river clean. 误:Anything hasn't been done to make the river clean. 正:Nothing has been done to make the river clean.
以who为主语开头的疑问句,变被动时用by whom放在句首:
Who wrote the story?
误:Who was the story written? 正:By whom was the story written?
有些动词既是及物又是不及物,当它们和well, badly, easily等副词连用时,表示主语内在品质或性能,是不及物动词,用主动表示被动,这时不用被动语态,常见的有:write, read, clean, sell, wash, cook等。如: The cloth washes easily. 这布很好洗。
The new product sells well. 这新产品很畅销。 The pen writes smoothly. 这支笔写字很流畅。
注意:下列情况主动句不能改为被动句 第一,感官系动词一般用主动形式表示被动意义,

如:feel,look, seem, taste, sound, remain等。
—Do you like the material? —Yes, it feels very soft. 误:It is felt very soft.
The food tastes delicious. 误:The food is tasted delicious. The pop music sounds beautiful. 误:The pop music is sounded beautiful.
第二,谓语是及物动词leave, enter, reach, suit, have, benefit, lack, own等。如:
He entered the room and got his book.
误:The room was entered and his book was got. She had her hand burned. 误:Her hand was had burned.
第三,一些不及物动词短语没有被动语态,如:take place, break out, belong to, lose heart, consist of, add up to等。如:
The fire broke out in the capital building. 误:The fire was broke out in the capital building.
第四,不及物动词没有被动语态,如:rise, happen, succeed, remain, lie等。
When we got to the top of the mountain, the sun had already risen.
误:The sun had already been risen.
After the earthquake, few houses remained.
误:After the earthquake, few houses were remained.
第五,宾语是反身代词,相互代词,同源宾语,不定式,v-ing形式及抽象名词等,不能变为被动句子的主语,如:
I taught myself English. 误:Myself was taught English. We love each other. 误:Each other is loved.
11.在汉语中,有一类句子不出现主语,在英语中一般可用被动结构来表示,例如: 据说?? It is said that ? 据报导?? It is reported that ? 据推测?? It is supposed that ? 希望?? It is hoped that ?
众所周知?? It is well known that ?
普遍认为?? It is generally considered that ? 有人建议?? It is suggested that ? ①It is reported that it is going to rain tomorrow.
②It is well known that Thomas Edison invented the electric lamp.
在英语语言中,被动语态是极常见的语言现象,人们进行语言交际,离不开对被动语态的使用,熟练掌握被动语态也为下一步学习打下良好的基础,在动词-ing 形式,不定式等结构中,都有被动式,都需要运用被动语态的知识去理解。
