Passive voice 教學
今次想同大家討論 Passive voice 用法 ，並配上大量Passive voice 例子！
普遍同學認識 Active voice ，即係大家所講 SVO， Subject (主語)一定是句子中的第一個字， Verb (動詞)緊貼著主語，最後， Object (副詞)通常在句子的最尾部分。
相反，Passive voice的次序調轉，Object是句子的第一個字，Verb 緊貼著 Object，最後，Subject通常在句子的最尾部分。
在某些情況下，Passive voice 會沒有Subject。
今天，我會向大家介紹 Passive voice 用法 ，以及何時應該用Passive voice。
Passive voice 轉換
Passive voice 造句
S V O
E.g. The school organizes the event.
這句句子是Active voice，如果將句子轉換成 Passive voice，就要將句子的次序調轉。
O V S
E.g. The event is organized by the school.
- The event 變成句子中的第一個字
- Organize 變成被動式 (is organized)
- The school 變成句子中的最後部分
- 通常會在 subject 之前加 by
Passive voice 可能沒有 Subject。
O V
E.g. The house was built in 1990.
由此可見，句子只有 Object 和 Verb。
Passive voice 用法
情況1: 沒有執行者
正如上面的例子，如果句子沒有 Subject，我們應該用Passive voice表達意思。
此外，Passive voice 相對較客觀和正式，同學撰寫文章的時候，應該多使用Passive voice。
情況2: 對行動本身更感興趣
若果我們對一項行動比執行者更感興趣，那麼用Passive voice 就會比較恰當！
例句：
This house was built in 1343. Isn’t that amazing?
這房子建於1343年，是不是很神奇？
誰建造的並不重要。
情況3: 執行者非常明顯
有些時候，我們不用明示，眾人都會知道誰是執行者。
在這種情況下，我們可以不要subject，改成Passive voice！
例句：
The thief was arrested yesterday.、
小偷昨天被捕了。
逮捕他的當然是警察。
