1 二、動(dòng)詞的語態(tài) ? As has been pointed out, a sentence/ clause whose predicator(predicate verb) is active is called an “active sentence”, and a sentence/ clause whose predicator (predicate verb) is passive is called a “passive sentence”. The subject in the active sentence is the agent or doer of an action, and in the passive the recipient of the action. ? 各個(gè)時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)形式大致可歸納如下: 2 一般時(shí)態(tài) 進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài) 完成時(shí)態(tài) 現(xiàn) 在 am is given are am is being given are has been given have 過 去 was given were was being given were had been given 將 來 shall be given will X X X (shall have been given) ( will 過去將來 should be given would X X X (should have been given) ( would 3 1) 被動(dòng)語態(tài)主要在下面幾種情況下用 : ? a 我們不知道或沒有必要說明動(dòng)作的執(zhí)行者是誰(這時(shí)都不帶由 by引起的短語 ): ?

It is generally considered not advisable to act that way. 這樣做一般認(rèn)為是不妥當(dāng)?shù)摹? ? You are cordially invited to a party to be given at the Teachers’s Club at 3 .
