Trên sở thực tế giảng dạy - Một số tài liệu tham khảo câu bị động - Một số ý kiến đóng góp đồng nghiệp B CONTENT I Definition: skkn Each sentence may be performed in both active or passive We often use active when the subject is the person or thing doing the action When the subject is the receiver of the action ( not doing the action) we use passive The use of active or passive depends on the situation or circumstance Therefore students must be mastered some problems II THE USE A The passive is used to describe actions: when we don't know who does, or did the action: Eg: My briefcase was stolen last night (I don't know who stole it) when it is not important to know who does, or did the action: Eg: The cars are taken to Europe every week (It doesn't matter who takes them) These televisions are made in Japan (It doesn't matter who makes them) B The passive and the agent In a passive sentence, we sometimes mention the agent (the person or thing doing the action) We use by with the agent The cheque must be signed by the manager The medals were presented by Nelson Mandela But we mention the agent only if it is important for the meaning of the sentence Sometimes we not mention it We not mention the agent if it does not add any new information All our money and passports were stolen A man was arrested last night We not need to say that the money was stolen 'by a thief or that the man was arrested 'by the police' We not mention the agent if it is not important The streets are cleaned every day Oil has been discovered at the North Pole Who discovered the oil is less important than the fact that it is there It is sometimes difficult to say who the agent is This kind of jacket is considered very fashionable these days A number of attempts have been made to find the Loch Ness monster C Empty subjects (they, people, etc) In the active sentence we can use the 'empty subject' they We sometimes use a sentence with an empty subject instead of the passive, especially in conversation We can also use the empty subjects people, you, one and someone ACTIVE PASSIVE skkn People use this footpath all the time This footpath is used all the time You/One should check the details The details should be checked Someone took my purse My purse was taken We use the passive in both speech and writing, but it is more common in writing We see it especially in textbooks and reports We use it to describe activities in industry, science and technology, and also for official rules Bananas are exported to Europe The liquid is heated to boiling point Payment can be made at any post office Cars left here will be towed away In these situations, it is often not important to say who is doing the action, or it is difficult to say The passive is also often used in news reports A number of political prisoners have been released Talks will be held in London next week III THE FORM BE + PAST PARTICIPLE The present simple tense: S + am / is/ are + Past Participle Eg: Active: They raise cows in Ba Vi Passive: Cows are raised in Ba Vi The past simple tense: S + was / were + Past Participle Eg: Active : They built this house in 2000 Passive : This house was built in 2000 The present perfect tense: S + have/ has been + Past Participle skkn Eg: Active: They have just finished the project Passive: The project has just been finished The future simple tense: S + will be + Past Participle Eg: Active: They will build a new school for poor children next month Passive: A new school for poor children will be built next month The present progressive tense: S + am / is / are +being + Past Participle Eg: Active: Ann is writing a letter Passive: A letter is being written by Ann The past progressive tense: S + was / were + being + Past Participle Eg: Active: She was cleaning the room at a.m yesterday Passive: The room was being cleaned at a.m yesterday Modal verbs: ( can, may ,must, ought to, should, would, could, might, have to, be going to, used to ) S + Modal Verb + be + Past Participle Eg1: Active : Passive : You can see him now He can be seen (by you) now Eg2: Active : He should his homework Passive : His homework should be done WH- question: Eg: Active: How many languages they speak in Canada? Passive: How many languages are spoken in Canada? Eg: Who wrote this novel ? skkn Who was this novel written by? Hoặc: By whom was this novel written? IV How to change from active to passive There are four rules that students should remember when they want to change from active to passive: Take the object of the active to the subject of the passive The verb “ be” according to the new subject must be the same tense with the main verb in active The main verb in passive is in past participle Take the subject of the active to the object of the passive preceded “By” ( When you want to emphasize the agent of the action) Active S Passive + V S + + O Be + V (participle) + O Eg: Active They S Passive will finish V this work tomorrow O This work will be finished (by them) tomorrow S Be + V(ed) O Note: If subject and object are Nouns , they will stay the same If subject and object are personal pronouns, they will change as follow: Subject: I You He She It We They Object: me you him her It Us Them - Adverbs of manner are often placed before the main verbs in passive Eg: He wrote the book wonderfully The book was wonderfully written - By +agent comes after adverbs of place and before adverbs of time Eg1: A taxi driver took him home He was taken home by a taxi driver Eg2: We will receive the gifts on Monday The gifts will be received by us on Monday Only transitive verbs can be change into passive.( transitive verb needs to have an object) Eg: She is making a cake A cake is being made by her skkn Transitive verb They run along the beach every morning Intransitive verb - present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, future continuous and future perfect continuous tense rarely used in passive - Some verbs such as HAPPEN, SLEEP, COME, SEEM, FALL, DIE, BECOME, GET can’t be used in passive Eg: We can write: Eg: The tree was fallen by the wind ( incorrect) The tree was blown over by the wind( correct) The deer was died by the hunter( incorrect) The deer was killed by the hunter( correct) If the sentence has two objects, there will have two ways of changing However indirect object is used more often than direct object Eg: We gave him a nice present on his birthday Oi Od -First way: He was given a nice present on his birthday - Second way : need a preposition A nice present was given to him on his birthday - Two prepositions are often used: “ to , for” Some verbs follow by ‘to’: give, bring, send, show, write, post, pass… Some verbs follow by ‘for’ : buy, make, cook, keep, find, get, save, order ……… Eg1 : She didn’t show me this special camera This camera wasn’t shown to me Eg 2: She is making him a cup of tea A cup of tea is being made for him V SPECIAL PASSIVE CASES: There are some special passive cases that are not in the same way Causative form : S + have / has + O (person) + V-(infi) + O (thing) Active S + get + O (person ) + V( infi) + O (thing) Passive S have /has /get + O (thing) + P2 (by + O (thing) skkn Eg : A: I had him repair my bike yesterday P: I had my bike repaired yesterday A: I get her to make some coffee P: I get some coffee made I Verbs of perception: see, watch, hear, notice A : S + V (senses) + O + V(infi) / V –ing P : S (o) + be + P2 + V (infi) /V –ing Ex : I saw her come in She was seen to come in I heard him giving order He was heard giving order Verbs of opinions : say , think, know , believe , report, expect, consider, A : S + V (opinion) + that + S + V P : - It + be + P2 + that + S + V - S + be + P2 + V (infi) / to have + P2 Eg1: People say (that ) he is a good doctor →It is said (that) he is a good doctcr →He is said to be a good doctor - People believe (that) she does that work carefully → It is believed (that) she does that work carefully → She is believed to that work carefully Eg: They think( that )Tom is the brightest student in class skkn → It’s thought (that) Tom is the brightest student in class → Tom is thought to be the brightest student in class Eg2: They said (that) Mary was very clever → It was said (that) Mary was very clever → Mary was said to have been very clever People know(that) he was waiting for his friend → It is known (that) he was waiting for his friend → He is known to have been waiting for his friend Eg3: People believe (that) he will win → It is believed (that) he will win → He is believed to win Eg4: -She reported (that) the flowers were killed by frost → It was reported (that) the flowers were killed by frost → The flowers were reported to have been killed by frost Imperative sentence A: V + O P : Let + O + be + P2 Eg: Take off your hat!
