[기초영문법] 태

[작은배]

1. 수동태와 능동태

① 태의 의미 : 동작의 관점의 차이에 의해 생기는 동사의 표현 형식을 태라고 한다.

능동태: 동작을 하는 쪽에 중점을 둠.

수동태: 동작을 받는 쪽에 중점을 둠.


△{능동태 → 수동태}


I	visited	him.
He	was visited	by me.
(능동태의 목적어)	(be동사+p.p)	(by+능동태 주어의 목적격)


(1) 능동태의 목적어를 주격으로 바꾸어 수동태의 주어로 한다

(2) 능동태의 동사를 「be동사+과거분사」로 바꾼다. be동사는 수동태의

주어와 인칭, 수에 따라서 바뀌고, 시제는 능동태의 시제와 일치시킨다.

(3) 능동태의 주어는 「by+목적격」의 형태로 수동태의 술어동사 다음에 온다.

(4) 「by~」(행위자)를 생략하는 경우:수동태에서 「by+목적격」이 생략되는 경우가 있다.

* He wrote this letter. (능동태)

主 + 動 + 目

主 + 動 + 副詞句

(모든 세상 사람들이 케네디를 칭찬한다.)

= Kennedy is admired by all the people in the world. (수동태)

(케네디는 모든 세상 사람들에 의해 칭찬 받는다.)

②수동태로 쓸 수 없는 동사 : 목적어가 있는 문장이라고 모두 수동태로

바뀌지는 않는다.

have(가지고있다), resemble, lack, become 등은 수동태가 안되는 동사들이다.

△She resembles her mother. → Her mother is resembled by her.(×)

△let, have를 수동태로 할 때 → let - be allowed to, have - be asked to.

* He had me sing. → I was asked to sing by him.

He let me go. → I was allowed to go by him.


2. [By + 행위자]를 표시하지 않는 경우

①행위자가 일반적인 사람일 때. (We, You, They, One, People등일 경우)

(프랑스에서는 불어를 쓴다.)

→French is spoken in France (by them).

* The house was built twenty years ago.
