So that's how the passive form is used in the present simple tense
好,这就是一般现在时的被动语态怎么使用的
How do we use it in the past simple tense?
那么一般过去时的被动语态该怎么用呢?
It's easier than you might think
它比你想象的可能要简单
for starters remember that in the past tense
首先要记住在过去式中
the form of the verb “be” changes to “was” or “were”
根据句子的主语是单数或复数
according to whether the subject of the sentence is singular or plural
动词be的形式可随之变为was或were
The ribbon was cut in record time
带子被在记录时间内被剪断了
The thieves were caught red-handed
窃贼们在作案时被抓住了
Notice that we do not know from these sentences
要注意在上面这些句子里
Who cut the ribbon and who caught the thieves
我们并不知道谁剪断了缎带,谁抓住了窃贼
The question form of the past simple passive has created
一般过去时的疑问形式通过
by putting the verb “be” before the subject
将动词be放在主语前面形成
Was the ribbon cut in record time?
带子在记录时间内被剪断了吗?
Were the thieves caught red-handed?
窃贼是在作案时被抓到的吗?

That's enough about the passive form for one day
今天我们已经学习了足够多的被动语态知识
Let's turn our teaching to the past perfect tense
现在我们开始学习过去完成时
We use the past perfect to relate 2 events
我们来用过去完成时
that have happened in the past
来关联过去发生的两件事
Often we don't know in what order the 2 events happened
我们常常并不这两件事发生的顺序
The past perfect is formed with “had + the past form of the verb”
过去完成时的形式是: had + 动词的过去式
Anna had arrived
安娜已经到了
Jim had eaten
吉姆已经吃过了
Now since we don't know when Anna had arrived
我们不知道安娜何时到达
or when Jim had eaten
或吉姆何时吃过
Just that they had
只是已经做过了
We can use the shortened form of “had” with pronouns
我们可以将had缩写和代词一起使用
For I had=I'd
比如I had等于I'd
For She had= She'd
比如She had等于She'd
He had= He'd
He had等于He'd
They had= they'd
They had等于they'd
We had= we'd
We had等于we'd
We create the question form by putting “had” before the subjects
通过将 had放在主语前面可以变成疑问形式
Had Anna arrived before Jim had eaten dinner?
安娜在吉姆吃晚饭之前就到了吗?
The negative form is “had not” and it can be shortened to “hadn't”
否定形式是 had not可以被缩写为 hadn't
Sarah hadn't eaten
莎拉还没吃饭
