PASSIVE VOICE

(CÂU BỊ ĐỘNG)

A. LÝ THUYẾT
I. ĐỊNH NGHĨA
- Active voice: là cách đặt câu trong đó S giữ vai trò chủ động/ chủ
thể( essential part) hay S là người hay vật thực hiện hành động :
Eg : The workers built this house/ She bought a book.

- Passive voice: là cách đặt câu trong đó S đứng vai trò bị động và O giữ vai
trò chủ động hay S nhận hành động do một chủ thể khác thực hiện.
Eg: This house was built by the workers. / A book was bought by her.

- Bị động là hình thức nhấn mạnh vào chủ thể chịu tác động của hành động và
chính hành động đó:
Bao gồm: + Chủ thể tạo tác động của hành động

+ Hành động ( Không quan tâm tới chủ thể thực hiện hành động )

I. Form:

Active: S + V + O + …….

Passive: S + be + V3/ed + (by O) + ……

Ex: Active: She arranges the books on the shelves every weekend.

S V O

Passive: The books are arranged on the shelves (by her) every weekend.

S be V3/ed by O

II. CÁCH ĐỔI ACTIVE VOICE SANG PASSIVE VOICE:

Ex: Active sentence: Peter took this book yesterday

Passive sentence: This book was taken by Peter yesterday

Trong câu chủ động:

- Peter → Subj ; took → động từ chính (Past simple)

Học trực tuyến: khoahoc.vietjack.com Youtube: VietJack TV Official

- this book → Obj; yesterday → trạng từ chỉ thời gian

Trong câu bi động:

- Obj ( this book) → Subj ; Subj ( Peter) →by Obj

- took (động từ chính) → taken (V3 / VoED - Past participle)

- thêm was vì động từ chính (took) đang chia thì Past simple

A. Tổng quát:

A. Tổng quát: active sentence: Subject + V + Obj

Passive sentence: Subject + BE + V3 / VED (động từ chính) + by Obj

1- Chuyển: Obj ---> Subj; Subj ----> by Obj (Có thể bỏ nếu by Obj không cần
thiết)

2-Thêm BE và chia thì tương ứng với thì câu chủ động.

Nghĩa là: Động từ chính của câu chủ động ở thì nào thì “ To Be” phải chia ở thì
đó). Như vậy: trong câu bị động “ To Be” có vai trò chia thì, Động từ chính có chức
năng như một tính từ mang nghĩa bị động (không chia thì)

3- Chuyển động từ chính sang ---> V3 hoặc Vo ED.


Một số công thức bị động cụ thể của các thì:

1. Present simple tense: S + is/ am/ are+ PII + by O

Eg: I drink coffee everyday -> coffee is drunk everyday.

2. Present continuous tense: S + is/ am/ are+ being+ PII + by O

Eg: Lan is listening to music at the moment -> Music is being listened to by
Lan at the moment.

3. Present perfect tense: S + have/ has+ been + PII + by O

4. Past simple tense: S + was/ were + PII + O

Eg: They stole a lot of money in that bank two years ago. -> A lot of money
were stolen in that bank two years ago.

5. Past continuous tense: S + was/ were + being+ PII + O

Eg: Ann was writing a letter yesterday morning. -> A letter was written by Ann
yesterday morning.

6. Past perfect tense: S + had + been + PII + O


Eg: I had had dinner before I did my home work yesterday. -> Dinner had been
had before my homework was done yesterday.

7. Simple future tense: S + will/ shall+ be +PII +O


Eg: My father will paint our house white tomorrow. -> Our house will be
painted white by my father tomorrow.

8. Near future tense: S + is/ are/ am+ going to+ be +PII +O


Eg: Ann is going to work this tree. -> This tree is going to be worked by Ann.

9. Future perfect tense: S + will/ shall+ have been +PII +O


Eg: They will have sold their car by next Christmas. -> Their car will have been
sold by them next Christmas.

10.Infinitive: S+ (to) + be+ PII + O


Eg: I have to finish my homework now. -> My homework has to be finished
now.

11.Gerund : being + PII+ O


Eg: I remember my mother taking me to the cinema when I was I child. -> I
remember being taken to the cinema by my mother when I was a child.

12.Modal V: modal V + Be + PII + O

Eg: Somebody should have called the president this morning. -> The president
should have been called this morning.

* Notes:

- Ta dùng V nguyên thể trong bị động : Be+PII để chỉ 1 ý định hay sự bắt buộc
hay sự không thể đc.

Eg: This exercise is to be done

This matter is to be discussed soon.

- Sau những V: to have, to order, to get, to cause hay 1 V chỉ về giác quan
hoặc cảm tính ta dùng PII bao hàm nghĩa như bị động:
Eg: We had your photo taken.

We heard the song sung

We got tired after having walked for long.

B. Cụ thể như sau:

1. Xác định Subj, Obj, Verb của câu chủ động (trong động từ phải xác định cho
được thì và động từ chính của câu chủ động)

2. Chuyển: Obj ---> Subj; Subj ----> by Obj (Có thể bỏ by


him/them/me/you/people/ someone : nếu không cần thiết).

- Nếu Subj của câu chủ động là danh từ chỉ vật liệu, dụng cụ ---> câu bị động
thay by bằng with + Obj.

Ex: Moss is covering this wall. ---> This wall is being covered with moss.

- Nếu Subj của câu chủ động là: nothing, no one, nobody ---> câu bị động bỏ by
Obj và ở thể phủ định.

Ex: No one helps me ---> I am not helped.

3. Chuyển động từ chính sang ---> V3 hoặc Vo ED.

(Động từ chính có chức năng như một tính từ mang nghĩa bị động-không chia
thì)

Học trực tuyến: khoahoc.vietjack.com Youtube: VietJack TV Official


VietJack.com Facebook: Học Cùng VietJack

4. Thêm BE và chia tương ứng với thì của câu chủ động (Động từ chính của câu
chủ động ở thì nào thì To be phải chia ở thì đó )

5. Giữ lại động từ khiếm khuyết (Modal verb) trong câu bị động nếu có.

Will/ would, shall/ should, can/ could, may/might must, have to, be going to, used
to, ...

Active: S+ will/would, shall/ should...+ Vo + object

6. Đặt trạng từ chỉ thể cách (adj + ly) trước Past Participle (V3 / Vo ED) nếu có.

Ex: People use English widely → English is widely used

7. Giữ nguyên giới từ sau Past Participle (V3 / Vo ED) nếu có.

8. Đặt trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn trước BY, trạng từ chỉ thời gian sau BY nếu có. Place
+ by Obj + Time

Ex: Mr Pike built this school in my village last year.

→ This school was built in my village by Mr Pike last year

9. Past Participle (V3 / Vo ED) as an Adjective, do đó động từ theo sau hầu hết là
To infinitive.

Ex: She makes me cry. → I am made to cry.

III. NHỮNG TRƯỜNG HỢP PASSIVE VOICE ĐẶC BIỆT:

1-Causative form (thể truyền khuyến):

a/ Active voice: -S + Have + Obj(chỉ người) + Vo.
