过去进行时被动语态

Go to Practice Exercises

过去进行时被动语态是一种精妙的语法结构，用于描述过去正在进行的动作，同时将重点放在主语正在经历什么，而不是谁在执行该动作。这种结构由 was/were + being + 过去分词构成，强调过去过程的持续性，使其在描述场景、正在进行的活动以及动作在过去特定时刻正在进行的延长情况时非常有价值。

过去进行时被动语态特别强大的原因在于它能够创造生动的正在进行的情况描述，突出正在进行的过程，并描述随时间发展的情况。这使其在叙事写作、详细报告、证人陈述和描述性记述中必不可少，在这些情况下，你需要传达在过去的特定时期内某事正在积极发生。

过去进行时被动语态还提供了一种极好的方式来描述背景活动、被中断的动作和同时发生的事件，而不必确定谁负责。这种外交性和描述性的方法在专业报告、事件描述和叙述中很有价值，在这些情况下，事件的持续性比涉及的具体个人更重要。

掌握过去进行时被动语态将显著提高你的英语描述能力，使你能够创作更具动态性的叙述、撰写详细的过程描述、提供全面的证人记录，并在专业和创意语境中改变句子结构，以实现更引人入胜和更精致的交流。

构成

结构

主语 + was/were + being + 过去分词 + (by + 施动者)

主语接受持续的动作，施动者（执行者）可以省略或用 'by' 提及

主动语态转被动语态的例子：

主动语态：

Workers were building the bridge.

被动语态：

The bridge was being built (by workers).

主动语态：

They were discussing the proposal.

被动语态：

The proposal was being discussed.

所有形式：

I was being interviewed at 3pm.
You were being watched carefully.
The house was being renovated last month.
We were being informed about changes.
They were being trained for the new system.

否定句和疑问句形式

肯定句：

Dinner was being prepared at 6pm.
The children were being taught music.

否定句：

The road was not being repaired.
Dinner wasn't being prepared at 6pm.
The children weren't being taught.

疑问句：

Ad space

需要避免的常见错误

❌ "The house was build yesterday."

✅ "The house was being built yesterday."

不要忘记过去进行时被动语态中的 'being'

❌ "The letters was being sent when I called."

✅ "The letters were being sent when I called."

使 was/were 与主语一致（复数主语需要 'were'）

❌ "The car was being make in Germany."

✅ "The car was being made in Germany."

在 'being' 后使用过去分词，而不是动词原形

❌ "The work was being done from John."

✅ "The work was being done by John."

始终使用 'by' 来引入施动者（执行者）
