So that's how the passive form is used in the present simple tense
好,這就是一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)怎么使用的
How do we use it in the past simple tense?
那么一般過去時的被動語態(tài)該怎么用呢?
It's easier than you might think
它比你想象的可能要簡單
for starters remember that in the past tense
首先要記住在過去式中
the form of the verb “be” changes to “was” or “were”
根據(jù)句子的主語是單數(shù)或復數(shù)
according to whether the subject of the sentence is singular or plural
動詞be的形式可隨之變?yōu)閣as或were
The ribbon was cut in record time
帶子被在記錄時間內(nèi)被剪斷了
The thieves were caught red-handed
竊賊們在作案時被抓住了
Notice that we do not know from these sentences
要注意在上面這些句子里
Who cut the ribbon and who caught the thieves
我們并不知道誰剪斷了緞帶,誰抓住了竊賊
The question form of the past simple passive has created
一般過去時的疑問形式通過
by putting the verb “be” before the subject
將動詞be放在主語前面形成
Was the ribbon cut in record time?
帶子在記錄時間內(nèi)被剪斷了嗎?
Were the thieves caught red-handed?
竊賊是在作案時被抓到的嗎?

That's enough about the passive form for one day
今天我們已經(jīng)學習了足夠多的被動語態(tài)知識
Let's turn our teaching to the past perfect tense
現(xiàn)在我們開始學習過去完成時
We use the past perfect to relate 2 events
我們來用過去完成時
that have happened in the past
來關(guān)聯(lián)過去發(fā)生的兩件事
Often we don't know in what order the 2 events happened
我們常常并不這兩件事發(fā)生的順序
The past perfect is formed with “had + the past form of the verb”
過去完成時的形式是: had + 動詞的過去式
Anna had arrived
安娜已經(jīng)到了
Jim had eaten
吉姆已經(jīng)吃過了
Now since we don't know when Anna had arrived
我們不知道安娜何時到達
or when Jim had eaten
或吉姆何時吃過
Just that they had
只是已經(jīng)做過了
We can use the shortened form of “had” with pronouns
我們可以將had縮寫和代詞一起使用
For I had=I'd
比如I had等于I'd
For She had= She'd
比如She had等于She'd
He had= He'd
He had等于He'd
They had= they'd
They had等于they'd
We had= we'd
We had等于we'd
We create the question form by putting “had” before the subjects
通過將 had放在主語前面可以變成疑問形式
Had Anna arrived before Jim had eaten dinner?
安娜在吉姆吃晚飯之前就到了嗎?
The negative form is “had not” and it can be shortened to “hadn't”
否定形式是 had not可以被縮寫為 hadn't
Sarah hadn't eaten
莎拉還沒吃飯
To demonstrate the past perfect tense watch the following dialogue
觀看下面的情景對話怎樣示范過去完成時的

晚上好,本次新聞節(jié)目中

將會講一個關(guān)于英勇與痛苦的故事
but mostly pain
大部分是痛苦
