常见错误

• ✗The suspect was arrest.
  ✓The suspect was arrested.

  被动语态是 was/were + 过去分词，arrest 是规则动词，要用 arrested。

• ✗Three people have questioned by police.
  ✓Three people have been questioned by police.

  现在完成时被动是 have/has + been + 过去分词，been 不能省。

• ✗The article was published by yesterday.
  ✓The article was published yesterday.

  yesterday 是时间副词，不是动作的执行者，前面不加 by。

• ✗The news were shocking.
  ✓The news was shocking.

  news 在英语里是不可数名词，当单数用，要说 the news was。

• ✗I have read the news this morning
  ✓I read the news this morning

  this morning 指已经过去的时段，配一般过去时，不用现在完成时。

• ✗The news are shocking
  ✓The news is shocking

  news 是不可数名词，谓语用 is，不用 are。
