Stative Passive
|
(a) The door is old. (b) The door is green. (c) The door is locked. |
In (a) and (b): old and green are adjectives. They describe the door. In (c): locked is a past participle. It is used as an adjective. It describes the door. |
|
(d) I locked the door five minutes ago. (e) The door was locked by me five minutes ago. (f) Now the door is locked. |
The passive form may be used to describe an existing situation or state, as in (f) and(i).No action is taking place. The action happened before. There is no “by phrase”. The past participle functions as an adjective. When the passive form expresses an existing state rather than an action, it is called the “Stative Passive.” |
|
(g) Ann broke the window. (h) The window was broken by Ann. (i) Now the window is broken. | |
|
(j) I am interested in Chinese art. (k) He is satisfied with his job. (l) Ann is married to Alex. |
Often stative passive verbs are followed by a preposition other than by. |
|
(m) I don’t know where I am. I am lost. (n) I can’t find my purse. It is gone. (o) I am finished with my work. (p) I am done with my work. |
(m) through (p) are examples of idiomatic usage of the passive form. These sentences have no equivalent active sentences. |
