英语的语态是通过动词形式的变化表现出来的。英语中有两种语态：主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者。例如： Many people speak Chinese.

谓语： speak 的动作是由主语 many peopl

e 来执行的。

被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者，即行为动作的对象。例如： Chinese is spoken by many

people.

主语 English 是动词 speak 的承受者。

一般过去时的被动语态构成：was/were ＋ p.p. （过去分词） eg:

Liu Xiang was helped by a special prog

ramme.

Liu Xiang’s races were recorded.

一般将来的被动语态构成：shall/will be ＋ p.p. （过去分词） eg:

more medals for China.

Will he be encouraged to spend more t

ime away from sport?
