通常用于被動結構的動詞

有很多及物動詞常常用于被動結構(過去分詞作形容詞用的除外)，例如：

be acclaimed             be alleged          be annihilated       be born

be dazed                   be dubbed          be fined              be headed

be horrified               be hospitalised    be indicted          be inundated

be jailed                    be overcome       be paralysed       be penalized

be perpetrated           be populated        be reconciled      be reprieved

be reunited                be rumoured        be scheduled      be shipped

be shipwrecked          be staffed            be stranded       be strewn

be suspended             be swamped         be wounded

用法舉例：

It was acclaimed as a great discovery. 那被贊譽為偉大的發現。

He is alleged to have kicked a policeman. 據稱他曾踢過警察一腳。

The enemy was annihilated. 敵人被殲滅了。

The Owens will move to a new flat when their baby is born (或has been born). 孩子出生以后，歐文斯全家將搬到一套新的房間去住。

We first saw a documentary which was dubbed in English. 我們先看了一部英語配音的紀錄片。

He was fined￡500. Which we all thought served him right. 他被罰款500英鎊。我們都認為他活該如此。

She is walking as if she doesn’t know where she is headed for. 她一直走著就好像漫無目的似的。

當然，它們用于主動語態也是完全可能的。如：

The people acclaimed him king. 人民擁戴他當國王。

They alleged out that they had been unjustly dismissed. 他們聲稱他們被不公平地解雇了。

They dubbed him Fatty because he was so fat. 他們管他叫“胖胖”，因為他很胖。

They fined him $25. 他們罰了他二十五美金。

Then we headed for home. 然后我們就往家走了。
