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.
-->Hewasseentoplayfootballontheplayground.
2)情态动词+be+过去分词,构成被动语态。
Coalcanbeusedtoproduceelectricityforagricultureandindustry.
1.let的用法
1)当let后只有一个单音节动词,变被动语态时,可用不带to的不定式。
Theyletthestrangego.--->Thestrangewasletgo.
2)若let后宾补较长时,let通常不用被动语态,而用allow或permit代替。
Thenurseletmegotoseemyclassmateinthehospital.
---->Iwasallowed/permittedtoseemyclassmateinthehospital.
2.短语动词的被动语态
短语动词是一个整体,不可丢掉后面的介词或副词。
Thisisaphotoofthepowerstationthathasbeensetupinmyhometown.
MysisterwillbetakencareofbyGrandma.
Suchathinghasneverbeenheardofbefore..
3.表示"据说"或"相信"的词组
believe,consider,declare,expect,feel,report,say,see,suppose,think,understand
Itissaidthat… 据说
Itisreportedthat…据报道
Itisbelievedthat… 大家相信
Itishopedthat… 大家希望
Itiswellknownthat…众所周知
Itisthoughtthat… 大家认为
Itissuggestedthat… 据建议
Itistakengrantedthat… 被视为当然
Ithasbeendecidedthat…大家决定
Itmustberememberthat…务必记住的是
ItissaidthatshewillleaveforWuhanonTuesday.
4.不用被动语态的情况
1)不及物动词或动词短语无被动语态:
appear,diedisappear,end(vi.结束),fail,happen,last,lie,remain,sit,spread,stand
breakout,cometrue,fallasleep,keepsilence,loseheart,takeplace.
Afterthefire,verylittleremainedofmyhouse.
比较:rise,fall,happen是不及物动词;raise,seat是及物动词。
(错)Thepricehasbeenrisen.
(对)Thepricehasrisen.
(错)Theaccidentwashappenedlastweek.
(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,watchagreewith,arriveat/in,shakehandswith,succeedin,sufferfrom,happento,takepartin,walkinto,belongto
Thiskeyjustfitsthelock.
Yourstoryagreeswithwhathadalreadybeenheard.
3)系动词无被动语态:
appear,bebecome,fall,feel,get,grow,keep,look,remain,seem,smell,sound,stay,taste,turn
Itsoundsgood.
4)带同源宾语的及物动词,反身代词,相互代词,不能用于被动语态:
die,death,dream,live,life
Shedreamedabaddreamlastnight.
5)当宾语是不定式时,很少用于被动语态。
(对)Shelikestoswim.
(错)Toswimislikedbyher.
5.主动形式表示被动意义
1)wash,clean,cook,iron,look,cut,sell,read,wear,feel,draw,write,sell,drive…
Thebooksellswell. 这本书销路好。
Thisknifecutseasily. 这刀子很好用。
2)blame,let(出租),remain,keep,rent,build

3)在need,require,want,worth(形容词),deserve后的动名词必须用主动形式。
Thedoorneedsrepairing.=Thedoorneedstoberepaired.
Thisroomneedscleaning.这房间应该打扫一下。
Thisbookisworthreading. 这本书值得一读。
4)特殊结构:makesb.heard/understood(使别人能听见/理解自己),havesth.done(要某人做某事)。
6.被动形式表示主动意义
bedetermined,bepleased,begraduated(from),befinished,beprepared(for),beoccupied(in),getmarries
Eg:Heisgraduatedfromafamousuniversity. 他毕业于一所有名的大学。
注意:表示同某人结婚,用marrysb.或getmarriedtosb.都可。

7.need/want/require/worth
注意:当need,want,require,worth(形容词)后面接doing也可以表示被动。

Thebookisworthreading. 这本书值得一读。
典型例题
Thelibraryneeds___,butit'llhavetowaituntilSunday.
A.cleaning B.becleaned C.clean D.beingcleaned
答案A.need(实意)+n/todo,need(情态)+do,当为被动语态时,还可need+doing.本题考最后一种用法,选A。如有tobeclean则也为正确答案。
