被动语态
被动语态的构成
被动语态由“助动词be+及物动词的过去分词”构成。人称、数和时态的变化是通过be的变化表现出来的。现以teach为例说明被动语态在各种时态中的构成。 一般现在时:am/is/are+taught 一般过去时:was/were+taught 一般将来时:will/shall be+taught 现在进行时:am/is/are being+taught 过去进行时:have/has been+taught 现在完成时:have/has been+taught
注意:区分被动语态与“be+过去分词”结构
be+过去分词”并不一定都是被动语态,有时是系表结构。被动语态,动作的对象是主语;当“be +过去分词”表示主语所处的状态时为系表结构,be是连系动词。be后面的过去分词是表语,相当于形容词。其区分办法如下:
1, 如果强调动作或句中有介词by引导出动作的执行者,该句一般为被动语态。
The glass is broken.(系表结构)
The glass was broken by the boy. (被动语态)
2 ,如果句中有地点、频率或时间状语时,一般为被动语态
The magazine is published in Shanghai.。(被动语态) The door is locked. (系表结构)
The door has already/just been locked. (被动语态) The shop is opened. (系表结构)
The shop is opened at 8 a.m. everyday. (被动语态)
3 ,被动语态除用于一般时态和完成时态外,还可以用于其他各种时态,而系表结构中的系动词be只有一般时态和完成时态。

三、被动语态的用法
1 不知道或没有必要说明动作的执行者是谁。
Some new computers were stolen last night. This book was published in 1981.
2 强调动作的承受者,而不强调动作的执行者。 This book was written by him.
Eight hours per day for sleep must be guaranteed. 四、主动语态变被动语态的方法
1 把主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语。
2 把谓语变成被动结构(be+过去分词),根据被动语态句子里的主语的人称和数,以及原来主 动语态句子中动词的时态来决定be的形式。 3 把主动语态中的主语放在介词by之后作宾语,将主格改为宾格。
All the people laughed at him.= He was laughed at by all people.
They make the bikes in the factory.= The bikes are made
by
them
in the factory.
五、含有情态动词的被动语态
含有情态动词的主动句变成被动句时,由“情态动词+be+过去分词”构成,原来带to的情态动词变成被动语态后“to”仍要保留。
