It’s always raining here. (抱怨情绪)
定义:表示说话时(瞬间)正在进行的动作, 也表示目前或现阶段正在进行的动作,或说话者的强烈情感。
v.-ing形式(现在分词)的构成:
a. 一般情况下在动词词尾加-ing。
b. 以不发音的e结尾的动词,去掉e加-ing。
c. 以一个辅音字母结尾的重读闭音节,双写最后一个字母,再加-ing。
used to do sth. 过去常常做某事(而现在不做了)
1) 否定句式:didn’t use to do sth.
2) 一般疑问句式:Did + 主语 + use to do sth.?
3) 附加疑问句式: …, didn’t +主语?
e.g. He used to eat shark fin soup.

Let’s review. 被动语态表意功能
讲话者不知道动作的执行者,不必或不便说出动作的执行者(这时可省掉by引导的短语)
借助被动的动作突出动作的承受者
为了更好的安排句子,用于修辞
当动作的执行者是无生命的事物时,需用被动语态
用法
有些动词习惯被动语态,如born, report, say等
