9、被动语态(keep 除外)。3“get过去分词”也可以表示被动,但使用这种结构不能带有“by施动者”。如:She got fired because of her faults.她因为失误而被解雇了。4在某些动词后用不带 to 的不定式构成复合宾语的句子,在改为被动结构时,不定式要加 to。如:The workers were made to work as long as 14 hours every day.工人们每天被迫工作长达十四个小时。5有些动词带双宾语,在用于被动结构时,若主动结构中的间接宾语变为主语,直接宾语仍然保留在谓语后面;若直接宾语变为主语,间接宾语前则通常加上介词 for
