1. 语态是表示主语与谓语之间关系的一种形式。英语有两种语态：主动语态和被动语态。
考查时态与语态的题通常结合在一起，尤其是被动语态，除了注意它的一般时态之外，还要注意它进行时态及完成时态的变化。如：
He told me that a highway was being built here.
他告诉我这里正在建造一条高速公路。
2. 另外还需注意有些动词，其形式虽是主动，但具有被动的含义。
1）当感官动词作系动词时,例如：
Good medicine tastes bitter.
良药苦口。
This material feels very soft.
这种衣料摸起来非常柔软。
2）还有一些及物动词作不及物动词时，也可以表示被动含义，如：
This pen doesn’t write well.
这支笔不好使。
此类动词不多，常见的有cut, lock, open, peel, read, sell, shut, wash, wear, write 等。
