UNIT 3 ПАССИВНЫЙ ЗАЛОГ

(THE PASSIVE VOICE)

 

Времена страдательного залога образуются при помощи вспомогательного глагола to beв соответствующем времени и формы причастия прошедшего времени (Past Participle) смыслового глагола. При спряжении глагола в страдательном залоге иpменяется только глагол to be,смысловой же глагол имеет во всех временах одну и ту же форму – Past Participle (окончание –ed для правильных глаголов; 3 форма для неправильных глаголов).

Active: Picassopainted that picture.

Passive: That picturewas painted by Picasso.

 

1. Дополнение действительного оборота (that picture) служит подлежащим в страдательном обороте.

2. Глаголу в действительном залоге (painted) соответствует глагол в страдательном залоге в том же времени (was painted).

3. Подлежащее действительного оборота (Picasso) служит в страдательном обороте дополнением. Если возникает необходимость назвать лицо или предмет, который совершает действие, то употребляется оборот с предлогом by или with (кем? чем?).

by–указывает субъекта, который совершает действие

with – указывает инструмент, средство, с помощью которого совершается действие.

 

This poem was written by Byron. This window was broken witha stone.

 

Однако лицо, производящее воздействие, несущественно и часто не упоминается. Например:

 

The theatre was built in 1983. Театр был построен в 1983 г.

English is spoken all over the world. На английском говорят во всем мире.

 

4. Если в английском действительном обороте сказуемое имеет два дополнения, то действительному обороту могут соответствовать два параллельных страдательных оборота. Страдательный оборот с косвенным дополнением в роли подлежащего является более употребительным.

I sent her some roses. - Shewas sent some roses. (more usual)

Some roses were sent (to) her. (less usual).

5. После модальных глаголов ( can, may, must, have to, should) в страдательном обороте употребляется be + past participle.

You can use the machine for cutting bread. The machine can be usedfor cutting bread.
