几种过去时态的被动语态
语境美文
语法感悟
Once when I was a child,I 1.was cheated by my younger brother.
One day in a winter,I 2.was given some cherries by my neighbor,Aunt Li. At that time,no cherries,which 3.were thought to be rare and very expensive, 4.were not planted in our area,especially in winter.They 5.had been transported from the south.My brother told me that cherries 6.couldn't be eaten before they 7.were washed and cleaned with river water.So I 8.was told to fetch some clear water from the river not far from home.I was happy to go to the river and soon came back.But when I got home,all the cherries 9. had been eaten up.
(1)被动语态表示主语是谓语动词的承受着或受事者。
(2)被动语态都必须有be和done。
(3)被动语态与时态融合使用,不会独立存在。
(4)从美文中可以看出:
1,2,3,4,7和8是过去时的被动语态。
5和9是过去完成时的被动语态。
6是含有情态动词的过去时被动语态。
语态也是动词的一种形式,表示主语和谓语动词之间是“施事”还是“受事”关系,分为主动语态和被动语态两种。主动语态表示主语是谓语动词所表示动作的施事者、执行者;而被动语态表示主语是谓语动词所表示动作的受事者、承受者。主动句变为被动句时,其宾语在被动语态句子中一般成为主语。动词的语态和时态融合在一起,不可分离、不可独立存在。
过去时态的被动语态主要有四种:
一般过去时的被动语态
过去进行时的被动语态
过去完成时的被动语态
过去将来时的被动语态
Ⅰ.基本构成

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
“Anyone knows single parents who can't afford to get their child's hair done for school? I will braid (编辫子) it for free!” Brittany Starks wrote on a Facebook post.
She decided to offer her hair braiding service after a family friend delivered backpacks full of school supplies, clothing and shoes for Cayden and Ceniyah in early August.“At the time, I didn't have anything for my kids to start school,” said Starks, who is in between homes and staying with her mother.“It meant so much to me.”
The unexpected gift made a big difference to Starks and her children, and it motivated her to pay it forward.Starks, who works two receptionist jobs, also braids hair parttime.“The hairbraiding process involves washing, blowdrying, and finally dividing the hair into small sections and braiding it.It also requires multiple supplies—including combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in.It costs anywhere from $150 to $400 at a salon (美发厅), depending on the style,”Starks explained.“But it can last for months and is a huge timesaver in the mornings.”
When she wrote the Facebook post, she assumed only a handful of people would reach out, but before she knew it, she had 35 appointments booked.Her Facebook inbox was suddenly full of messages from single parents, whose stories of hardship and financial challenges mirrored her own.
“There's a huge need for this.I could really relate to a lot of the women who reached out, and it made me realize that what I was doing was really important,” said Starks.“What got me the most was seeing the kids smile.” Given that there was less than two weeks before the start of school, Starks knew she needed to enlist help.

I was out for my usual morning run and found myself in the late summer heat,wishing I had taken a water bottle.When I stopped under a bridge for a moment of shade,I saw two young,scruffy men standing next to their sleeping bags.One smiled and gently raised his hand as if motioning “hello” but didn't say a word.He wasn't asking for anything.I smiled and made the same motion back to him.
As I started back on my run,I thought about how much we all crave a connection.In that moment,this homeless man seemed to want to connect more than he wanted food or money.We have all had experiences of feeling separate and lonely.I have felt lonely being in a relationship that was void of emotional connection.Feeling separation doesn't have anything to do with being alone.Being with people is about the human desire to feel connected by being seen and valued by another person.If your tendency is to spend time alone,practice saying yes to invitations.Practice moving towards rather than away from people.
We all benefit from connections.That homeless man impacted my day.After encountering him,I felt more grateful—appreciating all that I have.He triggered my compassion—I found myself feeling empathy for him.I had the choice to move towards separation or connection.Were there many ways in which he and I are very different?Absolutely!Are there many ways in which we are alike?Absolutely!I can reflect on times when I was in a situation I had never expected,times when I felt broken,times when I felt at a low point,and times when I needed someone to stop and acknowledge me as he may have been feeling this morning.
