感官动词的被动语态
感官动词也有被动语态,主动和被动并不是因为感官动词,而是要看它是不是及物动词。look,smell,sound,feel,taste不是被动语态,它们被当做半系动词来使用,后面跟形容词。
I saw the girl come in => the girl was seen to come in当感官动词感受到的是一个动作的全过程,它被动语态的结构为to do,即see sb do => be seen to doI saw the girl dancing=> the girl was seen dancing
当感官动词感受到的是一个动作的某一个片段,它被动语态的结构仍然为doing,即see sb doing => be seen doing
