11 Grammar Focus (P69) The passive voice 被动语态
在被动语态的句子中, 谓语部分的结构是be + 过去分词。被动语态的句子的时态变化反映在be动词上。也就是说, 把一个句子做成被 动语态的句子, 只需要写出be动词 的所需时态, 再加上所给动词

12 的过去分词就行了。当然, 这只是指谓语部分而言。我们知道, be动词作为一个独立的谓语动词有自己现在分词(being)和过去分词 (been)。那么, 下面我们来看看be 在各种时态中的变化形式：

13 一般现在时 am / is / are 一般过去时 was / were 一般将来时 shall / will + be 过去将来时 would / should + be 现在进行时 am / is / are + being 过去进行时 was / were + being 现在完成时 have / has + been 过去完成时 had + been
