被动语态是初中英语学习的重难点之一,是同学们容易出错的语法项目。英语动词有两种语态:即主动语态和被动语态。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,只有及物动词才有被动语态。
同学们不仅要掌握被动语态的构成、用法、主动语态变为被动语态的方法以外,还应特别注意以下两点:
●初中阶段不能使用被动语态的词
①与感觉有关的动词即连系动词:look、sound、smel、taste、feel。
例1:You look pretty today.
例2:The song sounds beautiful.
例3:The food smels good.
例4:Theteatastesnice.
例5:The water feels warm.
②与“发生”概念有关的词:hap-pen、take place、break out。
例6:It happened on the morning of April 1st.
例7:Great changes have taken place in Shanghai since 1994.
例8:The war broke out in 2002.
★但是hold有被动语态:The sportsmeeting was held last Monday.
③表示“占有”的词:have、belong to。
例9:They have a nice car.
例10:The book does n’t belong to me.
④表示“开始,结束”的动词:be-gin、start、open、close、shut、end、finish、stop。
例11:School begins in September
例12:The shop doesn’t open on Sundays.
例13:The door closed quietly.
例14:The war hasn’t finished yet.
例15:The cars topped.
⑤某些可以和副词wel、easily、smoothly等连用的动词;burn、read、wash、write、sel。
例16:The sentence reads smoothly.
例17:Those clothes wash well.
例18:The pen writes well.
例19:The books else well.
★但是不和这些副词连用时要用被动语态。The radio is sold in this shop.
⑥其他情况
⑴change用作动词时没有被动语态。
例20:The village has change dalot.
例21:The number of the teachers doesn’t change much in our school every year.
⑵consist of无被动。

误:A strange dream was dreamed by me last night. ③当及物动词的宾语是反身动词、相互代词时,不能转换成被动语态。
正:He taught himself Japanese.(他自学日语。)
误:Himself was taught by him. 正:We help each other.(我们互相帮助。)
误:Each other is helped by us. ④宾语是表示“某组织”、“身体的某一部分”或“感官”的名词时,不能转换成被动语态。

特别提醒 有些动词后跟不带to的不定式作宾语补足语,但改为被动结构后要加上“to”。例如 We heard him sing in his room just now. ---He was heard to sing in his room just now. 刚才听到他在房间中唱歌。 need doing something也表示被动 一、 被动语态的用法: 1. 一般现在时的被动语态构成:is / am / are + 及物动词的过去分词 Our classroom is cleaned everyday. I am asked to study hard by my mother. Knives are used for cutting things. 2. 一般过去时的被动语态构成:was / were + 及物动词的过去分词 A new shop was built last year. Dinosaur eggs were laid long long ago. 3. 现在完成时的被动语态构成:has / have + been + 及物动词的过去分词 This book has been translated into many languages. Many man-made satellites have been sent up into space by many countries. 4. 一般将来时的被动语态构成:will+ be + 及物动词的过去分词 A new hospital will be built in our city. Many more trees will be planted next year. 5. 含有情态动词的被动语态构成:情态动词+ be + 及物动词的过去分词 Young trees must be watered often. Your mistakes should be corrected right now. The door may be locked inside. Your homework can be handed in tomorrow. 6. 现在进行时的被动语态构成:am / is / are + being + 及物动词的过去分词 Uncle Wang is mending my bike now.→ My bike is being repaired by Tom now. They are planting trees over there. → Trees are being planted over there by them. 7. 不定式的被动语态:to + be + 及物动词的过去分词 There are two books to be read. → There are twenty more trees to be planted. 二、 怎样把主动语态改成被动语态? 把主动语态改为被动语态非常简单,可以遵循以下几个步骤: 1. 将主动语态的宾语作被动语态的主语; 2. 谓语动词变为“be+及物动词的过去分词”,并通过be的变化来表达出不同的时态; 3. 主动语态的主语变为介词by的宾语,组成介词短语放在被动结构中的谓语动词之后。(有时by的短语可以省略); 例:1. Bruce writes a letter every week. →A letter is written by Bruce every week. 2. Li Lei mended the broken bike this morning.→The broken bike was mended by Li Lei this morning. 3. He has written two novels so far.→Two novels have been written by him so far. 4. They will plant ten trees tomorrow.→Ten trees will be planted by them tomorrow. 5. Lucy is writing a letter now.→A letter is being written by Lucy now. 6. You must lock the door when you leave.→the door must be locked when you leave. 三、 使用被动语态应注意的几个问题: 1. 不及物动词无被动语态。 What will happen in 100 years. The dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago. 2. 有些动词用主动形式表示被动意义。 This pen writes well. This new book sells well. 3. 感官动词或使役动词使用省略to的动词不定式,主动语态中不带to ,但变为被动语态时,须加上to 。 例:make somebody do something→somebody+ be +made to do something see somebody do something→somebody +be +seen to do something A girl saw my wallet drop when she passed by.→My wallet was seen to drop by a girl when she passed by. The boss made the little boy do heavy work.→The little boy was made to do heavy work by the boss. 4. 如果是接双宾语的动词改为被动语态时,直接宾语(物)作主语,那么动词后要用介词,这个介词是由与其搭配的动词决定。 He gave me a book.→A book was given to me by him. He showed me a ticket.→A ticket was shown to me by him. My father bought me a new bike. →A new bike was bought for me by my father. 5. 一些动词短语用于被动语态时,动词短语应当看作一个整体,而不能丢掉其中的介词或副词。 We can’t laugh at him. →He can’t be laughed at by us. He listens to the radio every day. →The radio is listened to by him every day. The nurse is taking care of the sick man. →The sick man is being taken care of by the nurse.
