Simple to learn, easy to forget!
======================语法常识回顾=================
1、这里讲的是 "be" 所引起的被动结构，这很简单，只有三种形式：
1）is (are) +过去分词 is called
2）was (were) + 过去分词 was made
3）is (was) /are (were) being + 过去分词 it is (was) being repaired
2、注意 being 的使用：
They are building a new road outside my house.
=A new road is being built (省略 by them) outside my house.
3、being 不用在完成式中：
A new road has been being built outside my house. (讲不通)
4、注意有的被动态形式不一定是被动态，而是系动词+表语，称为系表结构。这种表语就是过去分词形式起形容词作用。
例：two of the strings were broken.
my father was shocked.
5、belong to (属于)的结构不能用成 be belong to，因为 belong 不能用被动态。
例：“中国属于第三世界”不能说 China is belong to the Third World.而应该用 China belongs to the Third World.
