威威老師的文法特快車:被動語態 (Passive Voice)

課程導航


哈囉各位同學!我是威威老師。

來,看下面兩個句子有什麼不同:

  • “The dog bit the man.”
  • “The man was bitten by the dog.”

兩句都在描述同一件事——但焦點完全不同!第一句把鎂光燈打在「狗」身上,第二句把鎂光燈打在「人」身上。

英文世界的「主動 vs. 被動」就像攝影師選角度——同一個畫面,但主角不同

為什麼要學被動語態?因為英文新聞、學術文章、合約文件、產品說明書——到處都是被動語態!如果不會看不會用,等於英文世界的一半閱讀資源你都看不順。

今天威威老師帶你拆解被動語態的所有時態組合、特殊句型、和學測愛挖的陷阱。

繫好安全帶 🚂


課前快問 (Pre-Quiz) — 複習 11 基本助動詞

  1. You ____ smoke here; it’s a hospital.(must not / don’t have to)
  2. He ____ be at home; his car is in the driveway.(must / can’t)
  3. ____ I borrow your pen for a moment?(May / Must)

一、主動 vs. 被動:換個鏡頭看世界

1-1 核心觀念

主動語態 (Active)被動語態 (Passive)
焦點誰做動作誰承受動作
結構S + V + OS + be + V-pp (+ by + agent)
例子Shakespeare wrote Hamlet.Hamlet was written by Shakespeare.

💡 威威核心比喻:主動 vs. 被動 = 攝影角度的差別。

  • 主動:鏡頭對著「動作者」(狗)。
  • 被動:鏡頭對著「承受者」(人)。 兩種都對,看你想強調什麼

1-2 什麼時候用被動?

情境例句為什麼用被動
不知道誰做的My car was stolen last night.不知道小偷是誰
不關心誰做的The bridge was built in 1990.重點是橋,不是工人
強調承受者The president was assassinated.焦點在總統
客觀/正式It is believed that…學術、新聞常見
一般常識Rice is grown in Asia.大家都知道

🎯 白話:當「動作者」不重要、不知道、或不想說時,用被動!

🎯 主動 vs. 被動概念即時練習(5 題)

1. Choose the better passive: which sentence describes a stolen bike? (A) Someone stole my bike. (B) My bike was stolen.

2. Why is passive used here? “The bridge was completed in 2020.” (A) The action’s subject is unknown. (B) The focus is on the bridge. (C) Both A and B (D) The action is irrelevant.

3. Identify subject and verb: “The book was written by Hemingway.”

4. Translate: 「這本書是去年出版的。」(Use passive)

5. Choose: When is passive most natural? (A) “I made a mistake.” (B) “Mistakes were made.”(政治家逃避責任的經典用法!)

二、被動語態的核心公式

2-1 黃金公式

被動語態 = be 動詞(依時態變化)+ V-pp(過去分詞)

💡 分工:be 動詞負責「時間」,V-pp 負責「被動」。兩者缺一不可!

2-2 8 大時態被動式對照表

時態主動(以 write 為例)被動
現在簡單writes / writeam/is/are + written
過去簡單wrotewas/were + written
未來簡單will writewill be + written
現在進行is/are writingis/are being + written
過去進行was/were writingwas/were being + written
現在完成has/have writtenhas/have been + written
過去完成had writtenhad been + written
未來完成will have writtenwill have been + written

💎 威威記憶神技:「抓住主動的助動詞,把它變成 be,後面照抄加 V-pp」

  • will write → will be written
  • has written → has been written
  • is writing → is being written

2-3 by + agent(可省略)

主動:Shakespeare wrote Hamlet.
被動:Hamlet was written by Shakespeare.    ← 完整版
      Hamlet was written.                    ← by 省略
      Hamlet was written in 1599.            ← by 改為時間副詞

🎯 被動公式即時練習(5 題)

1. Convert to passive: “The teacher praised the student.”

2. Convert to passive: “Someone has stolen my bicycle.”

3. Choose: The new library ______ next year. (A) will build (B) will be built (C) will built (D) will being built

4. Choose: The cake ______ by my mom right now. (A) is baked (B) is being baked (C) was baked (D) has baked

5. 改錯:The report has written by the team.

三、授與動詞的雙重被動 (S + V + O + O)

授與動詞(give, send, teach, show, tell, buy, lend, bring…)有兩個受詞 → 有兩種被動寫法

3-1 雙重被動結構

主動:I gave him a book.
       S    V   O1   O2
       ↑       ↑    ↑
       主詞    人    物

被動 1(人當主詞):He was given a book.
被動 2(物當主詞):A book was given to him.

3-2 對照範例

主動句被動 A(人當主詞)被動 B(物當主詞)
She sent me a letter.I was sent a letter.A letter was sent to me.
He taught us English.We were taught English.English was taught to us.
Mom bought me a toy.I was bought a toy.A toy was bought for me.
They showed us the way.We were shown the way.The way was shown to us.

💎 注意:寫法 B 中需要加 to / for(看動詞屬於 to 派還是 for 派——詳見 00 五大句型)。

🎯 授與動詞被動即時練習(5 題)

1. Convert to two passive forms: “She gave me a beautiful card.”

2. Choose: I ______ a great gift on my birthday. (A) was given (B) gave (C) was been given (D) gave to

3. 改寫成被動(物當主詞):He sent the package to her.

4. 改錯:A book was given by him to me.(哪個被動寫法錯誤?)

5. Translate: 「這份禮物是他送給我的。」(Use passive with 物 as subject)

解答與詳解


四、S + V + O + C 的被動 — 補語不變

第五型句子變被動時,受詞補語原封不動

主動:They call him Tom.
        S    V    O   C

被動:He is called Tom.
        S   V       C    ← 補語 Tom 留在原位!

對照範例

主動句被動句
They named the baby Alice.The baby was named Alice.
We elected him president.He was elected president.
People consider him a genius.He is considered a genius.
She painted the wall blue.The wall was painted blue.
The news made everyone happy.Everyone was made happy by the news.

💡 關鍵:補語(C)永遠不變——它在主動句裡描述受詞,在被動句裡變成描述主詞,但字本身不變。

🎯 S+V+O+C 被動即時練習(5 題)

1. Convert to passive: “We elected her chairperson.”

2. Convert to passive: “The judge declared him innocent.”

3. 改錯:The room was painted by us blue.

4. Translate: 「他被叫做 Mike。」(Use passive)

5. Identify the complement (補語) in the passive sentence: “The baby was named Lucy by her parents.”

五、被動語態的「禁區」 — 不能用被動的動詞

5-1 不及物動詞(沒受詞 → 怎麼被動?)

動詞意思為什麼不能被動
happen發生沒受詞
occur發生沒受詞
disappear消失沒受詞
die沒受詞
arrive到達沒受詞
exist存在沒受詞
appear出現沒受詞
seem似乎連綴動詞,無受詞

🚨 常見錯誤: ❌ The accident was happened yesterday. ✅ The accident happened yesterday.

5-2 狀態動詞(描述狀態,不是動作)

動詞意思
have (擁有)擁有I have a car.(不能說 A car is had by me.
belong to屬於The book belongs to me.(不能說 is belonged
lack缺乏He lacks confidence.
fit合身The shirt fits me.
suit適合The color suits you.
cost花費It costs $100.
resembleHe resembles his father.
consist of由…組成The team consists of 10 people.

5-3 某些固定片語

片語意思正確錯誤
take place發生/舉行The meeting took place.was taken place
break out爆發War broke out.was broken out
come true實現His dream came true.was come true

🎯 威威口訣:「不及物 + 狀態 + 固定片語 = 被動禁區」——踏進去就扣分!

🎯 被動禁區即時練習(5 題)

1. Choose the incorrect sentence: (A) The accident happened yesterday. (B) The accident was happened yesterday.

2. 改錯:This book is belonged to me.

3. Choose: The earthquake ______ at 3 AM. (A) was occurred (B) occurred (C) was occurring (D) occurs

4. Translate: 「會議在三樓舉行。」(Use take place — 不能用被動!)

5. Find the error: “The dream was come true after years of effort.”

六、被動 + 不定詞 / 動名詞

6-1 to be + V-pp(不定詞被動)

6-3 having been + V-pp(完成被動分詞)

七、考試陷阱大整理

學測被動語態考題的 5 大陷阱

陷阱 1:進行式被動容易漏掉 being

  • ❌ The house is built now.(這是現在簡單被動)
  • ✅ The house is being built now.(現在進行被動)

陷阱 2:完成式被動容易漏掉 been

  • ❌ The report has written.(缺 been,看起來像主動完成式)
  • ✅ The report has been written.(完成被動需要 been)

陷阱 3:不及物動詞不能被動

happen, die, arrive, occur, disappear → 永遠不要寫 was happened 這種!

陷阱 4:狀態動詞不能被動

have, belong to, lack, suit, cost, resemble → 一律用主動!

陷阱 5:被動 + V-ing / to V 容易搞混

need to be + V-pp(被完成)、enjoy being + V-pp(被批評)。

自我評分

分數(30 題)等級建議
27-30🏆 威威等級被動語態精通!進入 13 不定詞與動名詞
22-26🥈 穩健等級重點複習:完成被動 has been、進行被動 is being、不及物動詞禁區。
16-21🥉 加油等級把「8 大時態被動式對照表」默寫熟。
0-15💪 再出發從 be + V-pp 公式開始,每天練 5 句。

複習計畫

時間內容
今天全文 + 即時練習 + 章末測驗
第 3 天8 大時態被動默寫 + 重做錯題
第 7 天找一篇英文新聞,圈出所有被動句
第 14 天寫一段「我的學校」用 5 個被動句
考試前重看「5 大陷阱」 + 被動禁區動詞

學習科學小知識:間隔重複 (Spaced Repetition)

大腦在第一次學習後,記憶會快速衰退(一天後忘 70%)。但如果在「即將遺忘時複習」,記憶強度會大幅提升——這叫間隔重複 (Spaced Repetition)。

應用到被動語態:

  • 第 1 天:學 8 種時態被動。
  • 第 3 天:默寫表格(不看書)。
  • 第 7 天:實戰造句。
  • 第 14 天:找閱讀文章標被動。
  • 第 30 天:總複習。

這套節奏比「一次狂讀 5 遍」效果好 3-5 倍——因為大腦需要「忘記再想起」的循環來鞏固記憶。
