Страдательный залог

She is listening to her favourite song.

My parents travel a lot.

We didn't catch any fish yesterday.

Пассивный (страдательный) залог (Passive Voice) широко употребляется в современном анг­лийском языке. Как правило, пассивные конструк­ции используются, если нет необходимости называть исполнителя действия, который подразумевается из контекста или же ясен из той или иной ситуации.

Her two brothers were killed in the war.

The letter has been sent this morning.

Форма пассивного залога в английском языке об­разуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола be в нужной форме и причастия прошедшего времени смыслового глагола:

the Present Simple - is (am, are) done

the Past Simple - was (were) done

the Future Simple - will (shall) be done

the Present Perfect - has (have) been- done

the Past Perfect - had been done

the Future Perfect - will (shall) have been done

the Future in the Past - would be done

the Present Progressive - is (tan, are) being done

the Past Progressive - was (were) being done

В пассивном залоге не употребляются такие сложные времена, как Future Progressive, Future Pro­gressive in the Past и все формы Perfect Progressive.

В вопросительных предложениях первый вспо­могательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим.

Was it done? When was it done?

How has the work been done?

Who will the work be done by?

В отрицательных предложениях отрицательная частица not стоит после первого вспомогательного глагола.

The work was not done yesterday.

The fax has not been sent.

The fax won't be sent today.

The question is not being discussed now.

• Пассивный залог в английском языке употребля­ется, как правило, с переходными глаголами, то есть с глаголами, которые имеют после себя дополнение:

1. Ряд английских глаголов может иметь два дополнения - прямое и косвенное. Наиболее употребительными из них являются: to tell, to give, to offer, to show, to pay, to promise, to send, to teach, to allow, to ash, to answer, to forgive, to invite, to advise. Такие глаголы образуют двой­ные конструкции в пассивном залоге. A very good job was offered to me. = I was offered a very good job. He was promised a raise in the salary. = A raise in the salary was promised to him.

2. Большое число глаголов в английском язы­ке употребляется с дополнением, имеющим предлог. В таких случаях предлог занимает место после глагола в пассивном залоге.

Active: We sent for the doctor. - Passive: The doctor was sent for.

This film is much spoken about. – Об этом фильме много говорят.

The books were looked for everywhere, but weren't found. – Книги искали повсюду, но не нашли.

You are being made fun of. – Над тобой подсмеиваются.

Why is he always laughed at? – Почему над ним всегда смеются?

This dictionary is often referred to. – На этот словарь часто ссылаются.

Запомните!

look at - смотреть (на)

look for - искать

look after - ухаживать, присматривать

look through - просматривать

listen to - слушать

speak about - говорить (о)

take care of - заботиться

pay attention to - обращать внимание (на)

rely on - полагаться, рассчитывать (на)

3. Глаголы to explain (something to somebody), to point out, to announce, to dictate, to describe, to mention, to repeat, to suggest, to propose мо­гут образовывать только одну пассивную конструкцию.

The decision was announced to us.

The difficulty was explained to her.

A new plan was suggested to us.

• Глаголы to read, to sell, to wash, to clean, to peel, to crease, to break, to deform, to wear, to burn употребляются в форме активного залога, хотя и имеют пассивное значение.

This dress washes and wears well and doesn't crease.

Love stories sell well. Dry leaves burn well.

Такие глаголы, как to have, to chance, to happen, to seem, to appear, to lack, to become, to fit, to suit, to resemble не употребляются в пассивном залоге, так как они обозначают не действие (или процесс), а со­стояние лица или предмета.

This house lacks a big kitchen.

John resembles his father.

He has become a real professional.

С пассивными конструкциями часто употребляют­ся предлоги of, from, with, by.

I was interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

He was shot with a gun.

My country house is made of wood.

This pie is made from eggs, milk and flour.

Indefinite Passive

Страдательный залог времён группы Indefinite образуется:

to be + Participle II смыслового глагола

Глагол to be является вспомогательным и изменяется по време­нам, лицам и числам:

Present Indefinite Passive

am, is, are + Participle II

Past Indefinite Passive

was, were + Participle II

Future Indefinite Passive

shall be, will be + Participle II

Глагол в Passive Voice на русский язык переводится:

1. глаголом «быть» + краткая форма причастия страдательного залога (в настоящем времени глагол «быть» не переводится):

The letter was sent yesterday. Письмо было послано вчера.

2. глаголом с частицей - ся (-сь):

This problem was discussed last week. Эта проблема обсуждалась на прошлой неделе.

3. неопределенно-личным оборотом, т.е. глаголом в действитель­ном залоге 3 лица множественного числа, типа «говорят», «сказали»:

4. глаголом в действительном залоге (при наличии исполнителя действия):
