28. The passive voice 一、语态 英语中动词有主动语态和被动语态两种语态。 主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者，被动语态表示 主语是动作的承受者，在被动语态中动作 的执行者 有时用 by 短语表示出来。 二、被动语态的构成 助动词 be+ 及物动词的过去分词 am(is,are)+done 一般现在时 was(were)+done 一般过去时

29. 三、被动语态的用法 1. 不知动作执行者时，常用被动语态。 eg. My bike was stolen yesterday. This car is made in America. 2. 不必要说出动作执行者时，常用被动语态。 eg. Rome was not built in a day. 3. 为了突出强调动作的承受者时，常用被动语 态。 eg. Thousands of beaches are polluted.

30. 四、主动语态变为被动语态的步骤 : They speak English. 主语 谓语 宾语 English is spoken by them. 主语 谓语动词的过去分词 宾语

34. 一般将来时： The trees will be planted by the farmers. 现在完成时： The trees have been planted by the farmers. 含情态动词的被动语态： The trees can (must,should) be planted by the farmers.

35. 六、被动语态的几种句型： 肯定句 主语 +be+ 过去分词 +(by…) A sweet song was sung by her on the stage. 否定句 主语 +be+not+ 过去分词 +(by…) A sweet song wasn’t sung by her on the stage. 一般疑问句 Be+ 主语 + 过去分词 +(by…) Was a sweet song sung by her on the stage? 特殊疑问句 疑问词 +be+ 主语 + 过去分词 +(by…) Where was a sweet song sung by her?
