39、成被动语态由助动词be及物动词的过去分词构成。人称、数和时态的变化是通过be的变化表现出来的。现以speak为例说明被动语态在各种时态中的构成。一般现在时：amisarespoken一般过去时：waswerespoken一般将来时：willshall bespoken现在进行时：amisare beingspoken过去进行时：werewas beingspoken现在完成时：havehas beenspoken过去完成时：had been + spoken1.

40、ken.4. My heart had been broken.5. My heart is being broken.6. My heart was being broken.7. My heart will be broken.8. My heart will have been broken.被动语态没有现在完成进行时，过去完成进行时，将来进行时，将来完成进行时三、被动语态的用法(1) 不知道或没有必要说明动作的执行者是谁。例如：Some new computers were stolen last night.一些新电脑在昨晚被盗了。(不知道电脑是谁偷的)This bridge was
41、 founded in 1981.这座桥竣工于1981年。(2) 强调动作的承受者，而不强调动作的执行者。例如：The glass was broken by Mike. 玻璃杯是迈克打破的。 This book was written by him. 这本书是他写的。 Your homework must be finished on time. 你们的家庭作业必须及时完成。（3）主角必须隐藏忽略时:有时候在说话时，为了掩饰或刻意忽略时。例如：The medicine has been tested around the world. 这药已在全球被测试过了四、主动语态变被动语态的方法(1)
42、把主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语。(2)把谓语变成被动结构(be过去分词) (根据被动语态句子里的主语的人称和数，以及原来主动语态句子中动词的时态来决定be的形式)。(3)把主动语态中的主语放在介词by之后作宾语，将主格改为宾格。例如：All the people laughed at him.He was laughed at by all people.They make the bikes in the factory.The bikes are made by them in the factory.He cut down a tree.A tree was cut down by
43、him.五、含有情态动词的被动语态含有情态动词的主动句变成被动句时，由情态动词be过去分词构成，原来带to的情态动词变成被动语态后to仍要保留。We can repair this watch in two days.This watch can be repaired in two days.They should do it at once.It should be done at once.六、特殊情况1.He made the boy work for two hours yesterday.The boy was made to work by him for two hours y
