定义 / 说明
Past Simple 被动语态用于表达过去“某事被做了”,且执行者未知、不重要或非焦点。结构是 was/were + past participle。它常见于新闻、事实写作和过去事件描述中,重点是结果而非执行者。常与明确过去时间连用,如 yesterday、last year、in 2023。使用被动可以突出“发生了什么”。
关键规则
- 结构:was/were + past participle。
- 单数主语用 was,复数主语用 were。
- 重点放在“发生了什么”,不是“谁做的”。
- 只有执行者重要时才加 by + person。
- 常与明确过去时间标记连用。
