被動態
例：1、主動：The children gave the foreign guests a warm welcome.
被動：The foreign guests were given a warm welcome by the children.
孩子們熱烈地歡迎外賓。
2、主動：People regard him as brilliant.
被動：He is regarded as brilliant by people.
人們認為他很有才華。
以上兩例都是壹般時態用be done的例子，be有人稱、時、數變，第三人稱foreign friends是復數，時態壹般過去時，所以"be done"就是were given，而People regard him as brilliant壹句，被動後的"be done"就變成單數第三人稱is regarded的形式了。
被動：

反義疑問句
壹、There be 句型陳述句比較特殊, 其附加疑問句的結構為there be的倒裝，而不帶句子主語。例如：
There is something wrong with the computer, isn't there? 這臺電腦有點毛病，是不是？
There aren't any fish in the river, are there? 這條河裏沒有魚, 是嗎?
二、當陳述部分的主語是everyone,everybody, someone, nobody, no one,none, anyone, somebody等合成不定代詞時, 在非正式文體中，附加疑問句中的主語通常用he或they。例如：
Someone opened the door, didn't he/they? 有人開了門，是不是？
Nobody went to the cinema, did they? 沒人去看電影，是嗎？
三、當陳述部分的主語是everything, nothing, something, anything等合成詞，附加疑問句中的主語用it。例如：
Nothing serious happened, did it? 什麽事情也沒有發生，對嗎？
Everything is ready, isn't it? 壹切準備就緒了，不是嗎？
四、當陳述部分的謂語動詞是am的肯定形式時，附加疑問句的謂語動詞用aren't，而不用am not;當陳述部分的謂語動詞為am not時，附加疑問句的謂語仍用am。例如：
I am five years younger than you, aren't I? 我比妳小五歲，不是嗎？
I am not late, am I? 我沒有遲到，對嗎？
五、當陳述部分帶有few, little, hardly, scarcely, rarely, seldom, never, nowhere, nothing, no one, nobody等表示否定或半否定意義的詞時，附加疑問句的動詞用肯定形式。例如：
The old man can hardly read, can he? 這位老人不識字，對嗎？
Little food has been left, has it? 吃的東西幾乎沒剩下，是嗎？
He has few good friends, has he? 他幾乎沒有要好的朋友，是不是？

The students were impolite, weren't they? 那些學生沒有禮貌，不是嗎？
It's illegal to drive a car without a license, isn't it? 沒有駕照開車是違章的，不是嗎？
※ 含有否定含義的詞在陳述部分作動詞的賓語時，其反意疑問句用肯定結構，也可以用否定結構。例如：
You got nothing from him, did you? 妳從他那兒什麽也沒得到，是嗎？
七、如果陳述句是主從復合句而主句的謂語是動詞I(we) + think, believe, suppose, imagine, reckon, fancy等詞時，附加部分應與從句中的謂語在時態上保持壹致。例如：
I suppose you are not serious, are you? 我想妳不是當真吧，是嗎?（不可用don't I?）
We think they have finished their homework, haven't they? 我們認為他們已經完成了家庭作業，不是嗎？
I believe that you will enjoy the party, won't you? 我相信妳會喜歡這次聚會的，不是嗎？
八、當陳述部分是祈使句時，附加部分可以不與前面的祈使句的動詞保持壹致，而是根據不同的用意選用shall, will, can 等。例如：
Don't make noise, will you? 不要吵鬧，行嗎？
Let's help each other, will you/won't you? 讓我們互相幫助，好嗎？
Let me do it for you, will you/won't you? 讓我來幫妳做這件事，行嗎？
Let us have a look at your new dictionary, will you/won't you? 讓我們看壹看妳的新詞典，好嗎？
〔註〕Let's（包括說話者本人）開頭的祈使句，附加部分常用shall we?或shan't we? 表示征求意見。 Let us/me/him不包括聽話人在內開頭的祈使句，附加部分則要用will you?或won't you?
倒裝句
A. 在疑問句中
各種疑問句壹般地說都是倒裝語序。例如：
Will they come to see us this weekend ? 這個周末他們將來看我們嗎？
Are you talking about the film you saw last Monday ?
妳們是在談論妳們上周壹看的那部電影嗎？
Can you speak another foreign language except English?
除開英語，妳還能說另壹種外語嗎？
Where did you buy the dictionary, in the book store nearby or in Xinhua bookstore?
妳在哪兒買的這本詞典，是在附近的書店還是在新華書店？
She is not a student, isn't she ? 她不是個學生，對嗎？
B. 在感嘆句中
某些感嘆句也用倒裝語序。例如：
Isn't it a beautiful garden ! 多麽美麗的花園啊！
What a beautiful garden it is ! 多麽美麗的花園啊！（在這種句式中，主語在謂語之前，屬於自然語序。對於主語和謂語而言，語序沒有倒裝。）
Have you ever seen such a naughty kid like him !
妳見過那個孩子像他這麽調皮！
C. 在陳述句中
陳述句在壹般情況下用自然語序；但由於英語語法的某些原因，陳述句也要使用倒裝語序。這些原因大致可以歸納如下：
1) 為了避免句子部分內容不必要的重復，常用"so + be動詞（助動詞、情態動詞）+主語"或"neither / nor + be動詞（助動詞、情態動詞）+主語"的倒裝句式。其中第壹個句式表示"與前面所述的肯定情況相同"， 第二個句式表示"與前面所述的否定情況相同"。例如：
His brother is a college student; so is mine.
他弟弟是大學生，我弟弟也是。
His brother is not a college student; nor is mine .
他弟弟不是大學生，我弟弟也不是。
He used to have his further study abroad; so did I.
他曾去國外深造過，我也去過。
He didn't use to have his further study abroad; neither did I.
他沒去國外深造過，我也沒有。
One of my friends can speak three foreign languages; so can his wife.
我的壹個朋友會說三門外國語，他的妻子也會。
One of my friends cannot speak three foreign languages; neither can his wife .我的壹個朋友不會說三門外國語，他的妻子也不會。
They are now preparing for their final examinations; so are we .
他們正在為期末考試作準備，我們也壹樣。
They are not now preparing for their final examinations; nor are we .
他們沒在為期末考試作準備，我們也沒有。
定語從句
四、定語從句中的主謂壹致的問題
在定語從句中，當關系代詞在定語從句中做主語時，謂語的數由先行詞決定；當先行詞為oneof+復數名詞，定語從句中的謂語復數；當先行詞為the(only，very，last)oneof+復數名詞，謂語用單數.
①This is the last thing that interests me.
②That is one of the rooms that are free now.
③He is the only one of the students who is interested in sports.
五、當way做先行詞時，後面跟的定語從句缺少狀語時，關系詞可以使用that，in which或者不加關系詞
I didn't like the way that he eyed me.
I didn't like the way in which he eyed me.
I didn't like the way he eyed me.
六、在非正式文體中，在place，time，day，reason等詞的後面的定語從句，即使定語從句缺少賓語，關系副詞可以省略或者使用關系代詞that.
This is the place (where/that) we met yesterday.
I shall never forget the day (when/that) we first met.
The reason (why/that) he came so early is his own affair.
Do you know the right time (when/that) the meeting begins？
七、which、whose引導定語從句在從句中做定語時，也能做介詞賓語
It rained all night and all day，during which time the ship broke in pieces.
I called him by the wrong name，for which mistake I should apologize.
The prince was the person in whose honor the ball was given.
八、壹般情況下，定語從句緊接先行詞，但是有時為了保持句子的平衡，定語從句可以後置。
例如：The day will come when the people all over the world will win liberation.
when引導的定語從句修飾the day，但是主句the day will come太短，如果把後面的定語從句放在the day後面，主語太長，給人頭重腳輕的感覺。
九、al，both，few，most，several，some，one，two…+of+whom/which等結構引導的定語從句為非限制性定語從句。
Her sons，both of whom work abroad，ring her up every week.
An angry crowd surrounded the buses，most of which were already full.
I bought a dozen eggs，six of which broke down when I dropped the box.
That building，which cost $5 million to build，has been empty for years.
十、有壹些動詞詞組由“動詞+名詞”或“動詞+名詞+介詞”構成，這種情況可以把名詞提前，做定語從句的先行詞。
例如：The great trouble he took to show us how to run the machine made him completely tired out.
take great trouble to do something是壹個固定詞組，先行詞the great trouble後面的定語從句為he took to show us how to run the machine，made為主句的謂語動詞。
十壹、當定語從句中缺少表語時，使用關系代詞that，既能指人也能指物，但往往省略
Dr.Smith still talks like the man (that) he was ten years ago.
My typewriter is not the machine (that) it was.
十二、there be結構用做定語從句時，使用關系代詞that，既能指人也能指物，但往往省略
The 9：15 is the fastest train (that) there is to Oxford.
Kent is supposed to be a gifted footballer (that) there has ever been.
