Child and adolescent clinical psychology: Conduct Disorder

Grammar

Passive Voice: Continuous Tenses

Present Continuous Passive используется в тех же ситуациях, что и Present Continuous Active, но его подлежащее является не агентом действия, а объектом, на который действие направлено. Ср.: Active: The social worker is visiting the home of the prospective parents and is interviewing the adopting parents to verify if they make suitable parents for the child. Passive: The prospective parents are being visited and interviewed by the social worker to verify if they make suitable parents for the child.

Формальными показателями этого времени служит глагол to be, используемый в настоящем времени (am/is/are), отглагольная форма being в сочетании с третьей формой глагола (глагол + окончание –ed для правильных глаголов и третья форма глагола – для неправильных глаголов).

Для выражения отрицательного значения используется частица not, которая ставится после вспомогательного глагола. Вопросы конструируются путем постановки вспомогательного глагола перед подлежащим.

Past Continuous Passive применяется также, как и Past Continuous Active, но его подлежащее является объектом, на который направлено действие. С.: Active: The social worker was interviewing the child in his office. Passive: The child was being interviewed by the social worker in his office.

Формальными показателями этого времени служит глагол to be, используемый в прошедшем времени (was/were), отглагольная форма being в сочетании с третьей формой глагола (глагол + окончание –ed для правильных глаголов и третья форма глагола – для неправильных глаголов).

Для выражения отрицательного значения используется частица not, которая ставится после вспомогательного глагола. Вопросы конструируются путем постановки вспомогательного глагола перед подлежащим.
