被动语态
被动语态的基本用法：不知道或没有必要指明动作的执行者是谁时用被动语态；需要强
调或突出动作的承受者或事件本身时也常用被动语态(by 短语有时可以省略)。
[观察例句]
1．My washing machine is being repaired this week，so I have to wash my clothes
by hand.
2．I was sent to the village last month to see how the development plan had been
carried out in the past two years.
3．When fat and salt are removed from food，the food tastes as if it is missing
something.
4．The students have been working hard on their lessons and their efforts will
be rewarded with success in the end.
5．Steam engines were used to pull the carriages and it must have been fairly
unpleasant for the passengers，with all the smoke and noise.
[归纳用法]
一、被动语态的构成：be ＋过去分词
各种时态的被动语态形式(以 do 为例)
现在 过去 将来 过去将来
一般式 am/is/are done was/were done
will/shall be
done
would/should
be done
进行式
am/is/are being
done
was/were
being done
完成式
have/has been

二、使用被动语态时应注意的几个问题
1．主动变为被动时，宾语成了主语 ，(作补语的)不定式前需加 to(位置不变)。
The boss made him work all day long.
→He was made to work all day long(by the boss)．
2．主动变为被动时，可将双宾语中的任何一个作为主语。
My friend gave me an interesting book on my birthday.
→An interesting book was given to me(by my friend)on my birthday.
→I was given an interesting book(by my friend)on my birthday.
3．短语动词变被动语态时，不要掉“尾巴”(即不要丢掉后面的介词或副词)。
The children were taken good care of(by her)．
Your pronunciation and spelling should be paid attention to.
4．情态动词，be going to，be to，be sure to，have to 等结构变为被动语态时，只
需将它们后面的动词原形变为“be＋过去分词”。
We can repair this watch in two days.
→This watch can be repaired in two days.
5．当句子的谓语为 say，believe，expect，think，know，write，consider，report
等时，被动语态有两种形式：(1)谓语动词用被动语态，动词不定式作主语补足语。(2)用 it
作形式主语，真正的主语在后面用主语从句来表示。
People say he is a smart boy.
→He is said to be a smart boy.
→It is said that he is a smart boy.
People know paper was made in China first.
→Paper was known to be made in China first.
→It is known that paper was made in China first.
[特别提醒]

2．主动形式表示被动意义
(1)当连系动词 feel，look，smell，taste，sound 等后面接形容词时；当 cut，read，
sell，wear，write，wash 等作为不及物动词表示主语内在“品质”或“性能”时；当动词表
示“开始、结束、关、停、转、启动”等意义时。
