1.否定词not的位置:第一个助动词或情态动词之后。

听说他不会被授予博士学位,他非常失望。
2.主动句的谓语动词带有复合宾语时,应将宾语变成被动句的主语,而将宾语补足语保留不动(这时的宾语补足语变为主语补足语)。

→I’m being read an interesting book by my father now.(间接宾语变为主语)

4.These books are not allowed __to_be_taken__ (take) out of the room.

探究点4 主动形式表示被动意义
1.有些动词,如read、write、clean、wash、wear、burn、draw、cook、keep、cut、open、sell等用作不及物动词且表示主语的某种属性时,常和副词well、easily、smoothly等连用,且通常用主动形式表示被动意义。

(2)在“主语+be+形容词+不定式”句型中,当句子的主语是动词不定式的逻辑宾语时,常用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。常见的这类形容词有amusing、comfortable、dangerous、difficult、easy、fit、hard、important、impossible、interesting、nice、pleasant、funny等。
