使用被动语态应注意什么
被动语态的不同时态被动语态由“be+过去分词”,其中be根据情况可使用各种不同时态。这句口诀是“被动语态必有bedone,时态在be上体现”,也就是说只在“be动词上做文章,过去分词不动!”初中阶段要掌握六个时态的被动语态和情态动词的被动语态
一般过去时的被动语态:was/were done
过去进行时的被动语态:was/were being done
现在完成时的被动语态:has/have been done
一般现在时的被动语态:am/is/are done
现在进行时的被动语态:am/is/are being done
一般将来时的被动语态:will be done;am/is/are going to bedone
否定句和疑问句都在助动词be后加not,疑问句把助动词be提前
情态动词的被动语态:can/may/must/could/should be done
否定句和疑问句都在情态动词后加not,疑问句把情态动词提前
哪些动词无被动语态:不及物动词没有被动语态。因为不及物动词没有宾语,所以若将其用于被动语态则没有主语,故不能用于被动语态。
如:take place(发生),happen(发生),breakout(爆发),appear(出现),disappear(消失),last(持续),spread等:

过去完成进行时 had beendoing had been drawing
过去完成进行时与过去完成时的用法很相近,它通常表示一个持续到过去某时的动作:
He had been waiting for two weeks. He was still waiting.
He had been standing there in the sun.
现在完成进行时 (The present perfectprogressive)由 have/has been +-ing 分词构成;
过去完成进行时(The past perfect progressive tenses )由 hadbeen +-ing 分词构成.
现在/过去完成进行时的用法:
A.在某段时间内一直进行的动作用现在完成进行时来强调动作在某段时间里的持续性.动作通常有"现在"的结果,要根据上下文来确定到"现在"为止,动作是否还在继续进行.同样,过去完成进行时表示在过去更早时间内进行的动作,并对过去某一时刻产生结果。
B.表示重复动作的现在/过去完成进行时
我们也可以用完成进行时形式来表示现在或过去经常重复的动作
注意:过去完成进行时和过去完成时类似,需要有过去这一时间点。
情态动词+现在完成时,表示对过去发生的事的猜测
