【主动语态与被动语态的概念】
语态(Voice)是动词的一种形式,用以表示主语和谓语之间的关系。
英语的语态包括两种形式:主动语态(active voice)和被动语态(passive voice)。
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。被动语态是动词的一种特殊形式,一般来说,只有需要动作对象的及物动词才有被动语态。
主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者。巧记为:主动、主动、主去动。
Many people speak English.
谓语:speak的动作是由主语many people来执行的。
被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者,即行为动作的对象。巧记为:被动、被动、主被动。
English is spoken by many people.
主语English是动词speak的承受者。
He opened the door.
他开了门。(主动句)
The door was opened.
门被开了。(被动句)
【被动语态的构成】
His bicycle was stolen.
The building has been built in 2000.
通过上面的例句,可以看出,“被动语态”的构成是:be + 过去分词 ( + by + 动作执行者)
【被动语态的形式】
被动语态由助动词be加及物动词的过去分词构成,强调动作是由什么人或什么东西而发出时,常用介词“by +行为发出者”,即be+done+by+行为发出者。
被动语态可用于各种时态,通过助动词be的变化来表示:
1、一般现在时的被动语态:
am / is / are + 动词的过去分词
Our classroom is cleaned every day.
This car is made in China.
2、一般过去式的被动语态:
was / were + 动词的过去分词
His desk was cleaned just now.
The station was built in 1928.
3、现在进行时的被动语态:
am / is / are + being + 动词的过去分词
A new factory is being built in our city now.
Some trees are being cut down in the park.
4、过去进行时的被动语态:
was / were + being + 动词的过去分词

(B) am / is / are + going to be +动词的过去分词.

6、过去将来时的被动语态:
(1)would / should + be + 动词的过去分词
(2)was / were +going to be + 动词的过去分词.

7、现在完成时的被动语态:
have / has + been + 动词的过去分词
Some new factories have been built in the city since last year.
Your watch has been mended already.
8、过去完成时的被动语态:
had + been + 动词的过去分词

【被动语态的运用】
第一种情况:不知道动作的执行者,就是不知道谁干的。
Dan's bike was stolen last week.
丹的自行车上周被偷了。
My windows were broken yesterday.
我的窗户昨天被打烂了。
第二种情况:没有必要交代动作的执行者,就是说:不用说出来大家也知道谁干的。
Rice is also grown in North China.
华北地区也种水稻。
A new railway station will be built next year.
明年要建一座新的火车站。
第三种:为了强调动作的承受者,这里我们比较一下主动和被动:
Prisoners of War built the bridge.
战俘修建了这座桥。
此句的主句是 Prisoners of War,是来回答 Who built the bridge? 这个问句,所以此句强调的是动作的执行者---战俘,交代战俘做了什么事。
变被动之后:
The bridge was built by Prisoners of War.
这座桥是被战俘修建的。
这样说的话,主语变成了“the bridge”---这座桥,此句是回答 What was built? 所以此句是强调“什么被建造”即强调动作的承受者。又如:
