Key phrase:

• Sb invent sth ( 主动语态 ）• Sth be invented by sb ( 被动

语态 ）

. 主动语态与被动语态： 英语动词有两种语态 , 即主动语态 (The Active Voice) 与被动语态（ The 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着。

e.g. 1.They make trains in Zhuzhou .

Trains are made in Zhuzhou.

2.The farmers grow cotton every year.

Cotton is grown by the farmers every year.

主动语态

被动语态主动语态

被动语态

e.g Many people speak English.

English is spoken by many people.

主动语态变被动语态的步骤：

1 、主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语；

2 、主动句的谓语动词变为被动结构；

3 、主动句的主语变为被动句的宾语，由 by 引出，当不强调动作的执行者时，常省略。

4. 其它成分不变。

变被动语态时需要注意的事项• 一变

• 二套• 三注意

宾变主，主变宾，宾语前面 by紧跟，谓语动词变过分，不忘前面 be 词跟套时态，主动被动时态同注意：主语人称数变化 . 主谓一致大问题。

各种时态的被动语态的构成： 1. 一般现在时态 am/ is/ are + 过去分词 (be + d

one )

2. 一般过去时态 was/ were + 过去分词 (be + done )

3. 一般将来时态 will be + 过去分词 ( will be done )

4. 现在完成时态 have/ has +been+ 过去分词 (have/has been done)

5. 含情态动词的 情态动词 + be+ 过去分词 (can/must be done)

)

所有时态的被动语态否定试就是在 最前面的助动词 /be/must 等后加 n

ot

疑问句就是把最前面的助动词 /be/must 等提前。

Many trees will not be planted in future.

Will many trees be planted in future ?

把下列的句子变为被动语态的句子：

1 、 They speak English in Canada .

2 、 People used wood for making tables.

3 、 They have made computers in the USA.

English is spoken in Canada (by them).

Wood was used for making tables.

Computers have been made in the USA.

把被动句变否定Computers haven’t been made in the USA.

4 、 They have grown rice in South China.

5. We must plant more trees next year.

6.I am going to clean our classroom tomorrow.

More trees must be planted next year.

Our classroom is going to be cleaned tomorrow.

Rice has been grown in South China.

把被动句变疑问 .

Has rice been grown in South China ？

变被动语态的特殊情况• 一、双宾语buy/make sb sth=buy/make sth for sbgive sb sth =give sth to sb1.My father bought me a computer.A computer was bought for me by my father.I was bought a computer by my father.2.He gives me a book.A book is given to me by him.I am given a book by him

Sth+be+ 过去分词 + to /for sb+ by sb.

Sb + be+ 过去分词 sth + by sb

二、无 to 不定式

• 一感 二听• 三让 • 四看

feel listen to.hearLet/have/make

watch/ see/look at/notice

变为被动时加上 to

eg. We often see him play basketball.

He is often seen to play basketball by us.The boss made the children work for long.

The children were made to work for long by the boss.

三、注意动词短语的• 常考到的动词短语有

完整性

• take care of • look after• listen to • speak to

eg. 1.We should speak to the old politely.

The old should be spoken to politely.2. The nurse takes good care of the baby.

The baby is taken good care of by the nurse.

四、无被动语态的动词。• 不及物动词及系动词

• happen • take place • die

• rise • come true • come out

eg.1. An accident (happen) just now. happened

2. I’m sure that my dream .(come true) some day in the future
