1. Bảng đối chiếu câu chủ động và bị động qua các thì
2.1. Câu hỏi Yes/ No (là câu hỏi có các trợ động từ (can/ could/ will/ do/ does/ did/...) ở đầu câu)
Bước 3 Trợ động từ vẫn đảo lên trước chủ ngữ (chú ý chia trợ động từ theo chủ ngữ mới)
Lưu ý Với các thì hiện tại đơn và quá khứ đơn, bỏ “do/ does/ did” và đảo “is/ are/ am/ was/ we/ as/
were" lên trước chủ ngữ.
Các bước thực hiện tương tự như câu hỏi Yes/ No, tuy nhiên vẫn đặt từ để hỏi lên đầu câu.
Loại 1: Khi từ để hỏi làm chủ ngữ: (Wh- What made you sad?
question word + V + O) (sau từ để hỏi không có
trợ động từ, mà chỉ có động từ +tân ngữ) → What were you made sad by?
Who has met you?
→ Who have you been met by?
Who did you help to do homework?
Loại 2: Khi từ để hỏi làm tân ngữ: (Wh-question
→ Who was helped to do homework by you?
word + Trợ động từ + S +V+O)
What will you do?
(sau từ để hỏi có trợ động từ)
→ What will be done by you?
He lent his car to his brother. He lent his brother his car.
Các động từ kết hợp với TO Các động từ kết hợp với FOR
bring, give, lend, pay, post, sell, send, show, tell, buy, choose, cook, cut, do, fetch, find, get,
write,... make,order,...
- Khi một động từ ở chủ động có hai tân ngữ, khi chuyển thành câu bị động ta có 2 cách chuyển như sau:
3. Bị động với động từ chỉ giác quan (see, hear, watch, find, notice, feel, observe,…)
Active Passive Example
S + see/ watch/ hear ... S+ be + seen/ watched/ They have seen her come in.
+ sb +V(nguyên) heard ... + to V → She has been seen to come in.
S + see/ watch/ hear ... S + be + seen/ watched/ They saw him walking with his
dog.
+ sb + V-ing heard ... + V-ing
→ He was seen walking with his
dog.
* Lưu ý: Tùy thuộc vào thì của động từ giác quan mà sử dụng dạng bị động cho phù hợp.
They have seen him talking with his mom. → He has been seen talking with his mom.
4. Bị động với động từ tường thuật (say, think, believe, report, rumor,...)
Active: People/ they/ someone + V1 (see/ think/ believe ...) + (that) + S2 + V2
Trường hợp 2: Động từ ở mệnh đề tường thuật (V1) không cùng thì với động từ ở mệnh đề
chính (V2), chúng ta theo công thức:
The teacher wants me to do this exercise carefully. -> The teacher wants this exercise to be done carefully.
I want you to help me.-> I want to be helped (by you).
Active: S+ V (love, enjoy, hate,...) + SB + V-ing Passive: S + V (love, enjoy, hate,...) + ST + being +
+ST VP2 (by SB)
