初中英语知识点:被动语态

一、被动语态概念:
英语有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,而被动语态则表示主语是动作的承受者。当主语为动作的执行者时, 谓语的形式为主动语态; 当主语为动作的承受者时, 谓语要用被动语态。
e.g. Many people speak English.
(主动语态, 句子的主语many people是动作speak的执行者)
Englishis spoken by many people.
(被动语态, 句子的主语English是动作speak的承受者)
二、被动语态的基本时态变化
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。
各种不同时态的主动语态与被动语态的对比:
时态 | 主动语态 | 被动语态 |
一般现在时 am / is / are + P.P. | (1)Do they speak French ? (2)They don’t use the room . | Is French spoken by them? The room isn’t used by them . |
一般过去时 was / were + p.p. | (1)The hunter killed a tiger . (2)He wrote many stories last year . | A tiger was killed by the hunter. Many stories was written by him last year . |
现在进行时 am / is / are +being +p.p. | (1)These workers are building a new bridge . (2)He is mending his car . | A new bridge is being built by these workers. His car is being mended by him . |
过去进行时 was / were + being + p.p. | (1)He was selling books . (2)They were discussing the plan at that time . | Books were being built by him. The plan was being discussed by them at that time . |
现在完成时 have / has + been + p. p. | (1)She has learned many English words . (2)He has finished the work . | Many English words have been learned by her. The work has been finished by him. |
过去完成时 had + been + p.p. | (1)They has solved the problem . (2)We had told him the news by then . | The problem had been solved by them. The news had been told to him by us . |
一般将来时 shall / will be + p.p. | (1)I shall make a plan . (2)They are going to fix the radio in an hour . | A plan will be made by m . The radio is going to be fixed by them in an hour. |
过去将来时 would be + p.p. was/ were going to be + p.p. | (1)He told me they would paint the room . (2)They were going to put on a play the next week . | He told me the room would be painted by them. A play was going to be put by them the next week . |
情态动词 can / may / must / should + be + p.p. | (1)We should hand in our homework . (2)You must answer the question in English . | Our homework should be handed in by us. The question must be answered in English by you . |
歌诀是:被动语态be字变,过去分词跟后面。
三、主动语态被变动语态的方法
WeVisitedthat factorylast summer
主动语态
主语谓语宾语状语
That factorywas visitedby uslast summer
被动语态
主语谓语宾语状语
(1)把主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语。注意:如果主动句的宾语是代词,需将其由宾格变为主格。
Tom killed him. → He was killed by Tom.
(2)把谓语变成被动结构(be+过去分词)
They held a meeting yesterday. → A meeting was held by them yesterday. 他们昨天开会了。
(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。例如:
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.
歌诀是:宾变主,主变宾,by短语后面跟。
谓语动词变被动,be后“过分”来使用。
四. 如何正确使用被动语态
1. 有些动词带有两个宾语,即直接宾语和间接宾语,变被动语态时,可把其中一个宾语变成主语,另一个留在被动结构谓语后面。需要注意的是:若把直接宾语变成被动语态的主语,需要在间接宾语之间加上介词“to”。
![]() |
usinterestingstories. (主动语态)
(被动语态)
▲常带双宾语的词有:tell , show , lend , pass等。
2. 在主动语态中,某些动词之后带有复合宾语,即宾语和宾语补足语,这个复合宾语由动词不定式来充当,to被省略,但在被动语态中,这个to还要还原。
eg. I often hear hersing this popular song. (主动语态)

She is often heard to sing this popular song.(被动语态)
▲ 有这种用法的常用动词有:使役动词make , let ,have和感官动词 see , hear , watch , feel , notice等。
3. 有些“be +过去分词”的结构并不是被动语态,它们有可能是“系表结构(即系动词之后由过去分词来充当表语)。”

4. 只有及物动词和可有宾语的动词+介词词组才可以有被动语态。
eg. 

五、谓语动词的主动形式表示被动意义
1.英语中有很多动词如break, catch, clean, drive, lock, open, sell, read, write, wash 等,当它们被用作不及物动词来描述主语特征时,常用其主动形式表达被动意义,主语通常是物。
例: This kind of cloth washes well.
This book sells well.这本书畅销。
注意:主动语态表被动强调的是主语的特征,而被动语态则强调外界作用造成的影响。
试比较: The door won’t lock. (指门本身有毛病)
The door won’t be locked. (指不会有人来锁门,指“门没有锁”是人的原因)
2.表示“发生,进行”的不及物动词和短语,如:happen, last, take place, break out, come out, come about, come true, run out, give out, turn out等以主动形式表示被动意义。
How do the newspapers come out? 这些报纸是如何印出来的呢?
An accident was happened yesterday.(×)昨天发生了一起事故。
An accident happened yesterday.
What happened to Mr. Brown?布朗先生发生了什么事?
3.系动词没有被动形式,但有些表示感受、感官的系动词feel, sound, taste, look, feel 等在主系表结构中常以主动形式。
Your reason sounds reasonable.
The flower smells sweet.这花闻起来很香。
The watch looks good.这表看起来很好。
特殊句式
在汉语中,有一类句子不出现主语,在英语中一般可用被动结构来表示,例如:
据说……It is said that …
据报导……It is reported that …
据推测……It is supposed that …
希望……It is hoped that …
众所周知……It is well known that …
普遍认为……It is generally considered that …
有人建议……It is suggested that …
1) It is reported that it is going to rain tomorrow.
2) It is well known that Thomas Edison invented the electric lamp.
