语法练习
grammar
本课主要是复习第10课、第34课和第58课所学的被动语态的用法,其基本结构为:
受动者 + be done by + 施动者
(一)第10课
本课侧重学习的是被动语态的不同时态变化,如:
1、现在进行时
Homework is being done by him now.
2、一般现在时
Homework is done by him every day.
3、一般过去时
Homework was done by him last night.
4、现在完成时
Homework has been done by him already.
5、过去进行时
Homework was being done by him this time yesterday.
6、一般将来时
Homework will be done by him tomorrow.
7、过去将来时
He said that homework would be done by him tomorrow.
8、将来进行时
Homework will be being done by him this time tomorrow.
9、将来完成时
Homework will have been done by him by the end of next week.
(二)第34课
本课侧重学习的是“动词+宾补结构”的被动语态的用法,其基本结构为:
受动者 + be done to do + by + 施动者
如:
They asked me to make a speech.
I was asked to make a speech (by them).
再比如:
He told me to wait for her.
I was told to wait for her (by him).
(三)第58课
本课侧重学习的是双宾动词的被动语态,以及be done to do与be done that的用法。
1、双宾动词的被动语态
双宾动词因为有两个宾语,所以它就有两个受动者,也因此有两种被动语态的用法,如:
She gave me a pen just now.
I was given a pen by her just now.
A pen was given to me by her just now.
【注意】
当表物的直接宾语作为受动者时,要在表人的间接宾语前加上to。
2、be done to do与be done that
英语中有一类动词表示“说;报道;谣传”等,可能会有两种被动结构的用法。如:
People say that he is a genius.
It is said that he is a genius.
He is said to be a genius.
再比如:
People rumours that she has married a fool.
It is rumoured that she has married a fool.
She is rumoured to have married a fool.
