Unit 9 When was it invented?
was invented: 被发明
结构: be (am /is/are/was/were)+动词的过去分词
时态:被动语态 (the Passive Voice)
英语根据其谓语动词与主语的关系分为两种语
态即主动语态(The Active Voice)和被动语态
(the Passive Voice).主动语态表示主语是动作
执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。
am/are /is +动词的过去分词 : 一般现在时的被动语态
was/were +动词的过去分词 :一般过去时的被动语态
Many people speak English.(主动语态)
English is spoken by many people.(被动语态)
The naughty boy broke the window yesterday.(主动语态)
The window was broken ( by the naughty boy) yesterday.(被动语态)
主动句与被动句之间的转换
We bought some books.
主语 谓语动词主动语态的过去式 宾语
Some books were bought ( by us )
主语 谓语动词被动语态的过去分词 介词+ 宾语
主动句变为被动句所遵循的4个步骤:
1 把原主动句中的宾语变为被动句的主语。
2 把动词变为被动形式即be +过去分词,并注意其人称和数随主语的变化,而动词的时态则保持不变。
3 原主动句的主语如需要则放在by后面以它的宾格形式出现(注代词的宾格),如不需要则可省略。
4 其它的成分(定语、状语)不变。
被动语态的几种句型
1 肯定句 主语 + be + 过去分词 + (by…)
A sweet song was sung by her on the stage.
2 否定句 主语 + be + not +过去分词 + (by…)
3 一般疑问句 Be + 主语 +过去分词 + (by…)
A sweet song wasn’t sung by her on the stage.
Was a sweet song sung by her on the stage?
4 特殊疑问句 疑问词 + be + 主语 +过去分词 + (by…)
Where was a sweet song sung by her?
练习一 请把下列的主动句变为被动句(注意时态的一致)
1 He wrote an article last week.

2 The people make history.
