We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord. It was made in Germany in 1681. Our clavichord is kept in the living room. It has belonged to our family for a long time. The instrument was bought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked. Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of my father's.
The instrument is being repaired by a friend of my father's.
父亲的一个朋友正在修理这件乐器。
已经完成的动作要用完成时：
动词作及物动词用（即动词后可加宾语）时才能构成被动语态。
如果要说明是什么人或什么东西做了某事，则用“by+ 行为主体”结构：
I live in a very old town which is surrounded by beautiful woods.
我住在一个由美丽的树林环绕的古老小镇上。
That table was made by my grandfather.
那张桌子是我祖父做的。
“行为主体”也可以不表示出来：
This piano was made in England.
这架钢琴是英国造的。
The car was repaired last week.
这辆车是上星期修的。
2．双重所有格(The double genitive)
-'s 结构的所有格也可用于“of结构”之后，如：a friend of my father's（我父亲的一位朋友），意思是我父亲的许多朋友之一。出现这种情况是因为在一个名词前通常只用一个限定词。例如在son一词之前，我们不会同时用this和my两个限定词，而只可说this son of mine（我的这个儿子）。其他一些表示所属关系的代词的例子如a friend of yours（你的一个朋友），an uncle of hers（她的一个叔叔）等。在名词前面，我们可以用a, this,that, these, some, any, no等等，但不用 the。He is a friend of mine（他是我的一个朋友）比He is my friend更常用，后者含有“他是我的一个特殊的或惟一的朋友”之意。而 He is no friend of mine的含义是“我根本不认识他”或“他是我的敌人”。
