第5天 动词的语态

5-1 语态的构成

1.在英语中语态属于语法范畴

语态是动词的一种形式,用来表示主语和谓语之间的关系。英语有两种语态:主动语态(active voice)和被动语态(passive voice)。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,而被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。

Yesterday, I parked my car outside the school.昨天我把我的汽车停在学校外边了。(主动语态)

A sound of piano is heard in the adjoining room.听到邻居房间里有钢琴声。(被动语态)

2.被动语态由助动词be加及物动词的过去分词构成

如果有必要强调动作的执行者,则可用介词by引出的短语表示出动作的执行者。助动词be随主语的人称、数、时态和语气的不同而变化。被动语态常可用于各种时态,但比较常见的有十种。
