动词的语态：

语态有两种：主动语态和被动语态。

主语是动作的发出者为主动语态；主语是动作的接受者为被动语态。

（1）若宾语补足语是不带to的不定式，变为被动语态时，该不定式前要加“to”。此

类动词为感官动词。

feel,hear,help,listento,lookat,make,observe,see,notice,watch

Theteachermademegooutoftheclassroom.

Iwasmadetogooutoftheclassroom（bytheteacher）.

Wesawhimplayfootballontheplayground.

（2）情态动词+be+过去分词，构成被动语态。

breakout,cometrue,fallasleep,keepsilence,loseheart,takeplace.

Afterthefire,verylittleremainedofmyhouse.

（对）Theaccidenthappenedlastweek.

（错）Thepricehasraised.

（对）Thepricehasbeenraised.

（错）Pleaseseat.

（对）Pleasebeseated.

要想正确地使用被动语态，就须注意哪些动词是及物的，哪些是不及物的。特别是一词

多义的动词往往有两种用法。解决这一问题唯有在学习过程中多留意积累。

（2）不能用于被动语态的及物动词或动词短语：

fit,have,hold,marry,own,wish,cost,notice,watch,agreewith,arriveat/in,shakehands

with,succeedin,sufferfrom,happento,takepartin,walkinto,belongto

while

典型例题：

（1）Maryadresswhenshecutherfinger.

A.madeB.ismakingC.wasmakingD.makes

答案C。割伤手指是已发生的事情，应用过去时。同时，when表时间的同时性，“玛丽

在做衣服时”提供事情发生的背景，因此用过去进行时.

（2）Asshe__thenewspaper,Granny___asleep.

A.read；wasfallingB.wasreading；fell

C.wasreading；wasfallingD.read；fell

答案B。句中的as=when,while,意为“当……之时描述一件事发生的背景时，用

过去进行；一个长动作发生的时候，另一个短动作发生。句意为“在她看报纸时，奶奶睡着

了。”句中的fell（fall的过去时），是系动词，后跟形容词，如：fallsicko
