有的不及物動詞也有被動語態：LittleBobistooshytospeakifheisspokento.

主動語態；someonespeakstohim.speak+介詞to+賓語，所以很多不及物動詞加介詞在跟賓語後，也是可以變成被動語態的。

不用被動語態：1.連繫動詞looksoundsmelltastefeelappearseemgoturncomegrowfallasleep

becomeremainkeepstaycontinue

2appear=turnup出現露面到達breakouthappenoccurtakeplacecomeabout

belongtodisappearbelongtodieend(結束）failsucceedsitstandlastrise

fit,have,hold,marry,own,wish,cost,notice,watchagreewith,arriveat/in,shakehandswith,succeedin,sufferfrom,happento,takepartin,walkinto,cometrue,keepsilence,loseheart

3帶同源賓語的及物動詞，反身代詞，相互代詞，不能用於被動語態：

die,death,dream,live,life

　　Shedreamedabaddreamlastnight.

4.當賓語是不定式時，很少用於被動語態。
