what 引起宾语从句，并在从句中作call的宾语，“Ancient Greece”作宾补。what相当于the place that，因此what不能改为that，也不能改为where，因为where 只能作状语。

forbid 禁止

The law doesn’t allow such an action. My parents won’t allow me to stay out late. The police don’t allow parking in the street. The servant wouldn’t allow him into the house. 10. will be staying 是将来进行时态，表示将来某一时刻或某一段时间里正在进行的动作，也可表示预料将要发生的动作。

如：Not only do the nurses want a pay increase, but also they want to reduce(减少) hours. 12. as well as 并列连词

1.既……又；也；又。可连接两个并列成分，强调其前面的内容，因此连接并列主语时，谓语应与前面的主语保持人称和数的一致

eg: I as well as my sisters am going to the park for a picnic this Sunday. 2.还可作“不但……而且”解，相当于not only…but also,但前者强调的中心在as well as之前，后者在but also之后。

eg: It is important for you as well as for me.

3. as well 副词短语，意思为“也”，放在句末。当放在主要动词之前，前面有may, just等时，意为“也好，不妨，还不如”

如:You might just as well tell me the truth.不妨…. 2）as well as后接动词时，一般用ing形式。

3）as well as = besides

除…外还有

learning about language& grammar Grammar

一般将来时被动语态用法: 1)

一般将来时被动语态由

“shall(will)+will+be+及物动词的过去分词”构成。用来描述事物将受到某种影响或某种处理。描述人物将被动地接受某种行为或某种处理。

2)

使用时应注意下面句型由主动语态变为被动语态的方法。

(1)主语+谓语+宾语，例如：

主动：We’ll build a new house next year. 被动：A new house will be built(by us) nest year. （2）主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语（习惯上把间接宾语变为被动语态的主语）

主动：My mother will give me a shirt. 被动：I will be given a shirt (by my mother). 如果把直接宾语改为主语时，则在间接宾语前加to或for 主动：My mother will give me a shirt. 被动：A new shirt will be given to me (by my mother).

(3) 主语+谓语+宾语+宾补。如果是含有复合宾语的主动句变成被动句时，将其中的宾语变为主语，宾补不变。例如：

主动：We’ll ask him to help you tomorrow. 被动：He will be asked to help you (by us). 2）一般将来时的其他几种被动语态形式：

(1)be going to be (done); be to be (done) 主动：We are to repair the machine tomorrow. 被动：The machine is to be repaired the (by us) tomorrow.

(2) shall(will)+get+过去分词（多用于非正式场合）

主动：I will get the work done. 被动：The work will get done by me. (3) will+become+过去分词

The truth will become known.. Turn to page 13 and do Ex1. And tell the class the formation of future passive voice. We can follow the following ways of formation to turn the future tenses into the future passive voice:



be going to be done, 

be about to be done,



be to be done,



will\shall be done,



would\should be done. Do Ex2 of P13. Suggested answers:

1.

2.

will be allowed 4.

will not be excused, will be told, will be punished 5.

will be allowed, will be fined 注意:如何时使用被动语态呢？

一、行为主体不明确，不必说出或者无法说出动作的执行者时。

Football is played all over the world．

二、不易找到或根本就不可能找到动作的执行者时。

My bike was stolen. 三、汉语中含有“据说”、“据悉”、“有人说”、“大家说”等时。

It is said that one day he climbed to the top of a house.

It was reported that her mother died of SARS. 众所周知……

It is well known that…

据推测说……
