다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences between passives and actives, the constraints of passives, the types of passives. the passives with agents and the passives without agents, the occasions when passives are used, etc. and then to analyze the passives appearing in the current high school English textbooks, helping understand the usage of passives corrtectly
The main findings of this study are as follows .
First, there are cases when passives and their corresponding actives are considerably different in meaning and usage.
Second, there are many actives which can not be transformed into
passives
Third, there are various kinds of passive auxiliaries, such as be. get, become, grow, stand feel, remain, rest, appear, lie, seem, look, sit, etc., of which the verb be is most frequently used that is, 93.8% of the passives in the current high school English books include the verb be.
Fourth, the passives without agents are much more than the passives with agents. That is, 85.7% of the passives in the current high school English textbooks are without agents.
Fifth the results of the English textbook analysis show that passives are most frequently used when the agents are not clear and when the receivers of action at are emphasized, which occupy 32.2% and 29.0% respectively. There are several other cases when passives are prefeerred.
Some suggestions based on this study are as fellows:
First, teachers must teach students to understand that the meanings of passives and their corresponding actives are not always the same. and their usages are different and the teaching method by which teachers make students only transform actives into passives and vice versa must not be used.
Second teachers must teach students to understand that there are several other passive auxiliaries besides the verb be, and to understand the correct usage of them.
Third. teachers must teach students to understand that the passives without agents are much more than the passives with agents, and to correctly understand when and why the passives without agents are used .
Fourth, teachers must teach students to correctly understand when and why passives are used.
In conclusion we believe that the factors mentioned above will be helpful in teaching the usage of passives correctly, though more study is needed .
