Страдательный залог. Passive voice. Формы страдательного залога

Страдательный залог формируется с помощью глагола to be в нужной форме + past participle.

Рассмотрите все временные формы образования страдательного залога в сравнении с действительным залогом.

Рассмотрите безличные формы в страдательном залоге в сравнении с действительным залогом.

Использование страдательного залога

Страдательный залог используется, когда агент действия неизвестен, неважен или очевиден из контекста.

Пример:

My car was stolen yesterday. (unknown agent)

The road repairs were completed last week. (unimportant agent)

The kidnappers have been arrested. (by the police – obvious agent)

Страдательный залог также используется для того, чтобы сделать утверждение более вежливым или официальным.

Пример:

My new suit has been burnt.

(it is more polite than saying ‘You have burnt my new suit.’)

Страдательный залог используется, когда действие важнее того, кто его выполняет. Например, в новостях, объявлениях, газетных заголовках и т. д.

Пример:

Taking pictures is not allowed. (written notice)

The local bank was robbed this morning. (news report)

Bread is baked in an oven for about 45 minutes. (process)

Если же мы хотим подчеркнуть агента действия, то мы используем страдательный залог.

Пример:

The Tower of London was built by William the Conqueror.
