take place等能用于被动语态吗
请看下面的题：
Great changes __________ in China since 1978. http://yingyu.chazidian.com
A. have taken place B. took place C. have been taken place D. were taken place
此题应选A。首先要排除C，D，因为take place(发生)是不及物动词，所以不能用被动语态；另一方面，因为句子中的since 1978，所以句子宜用现在完成时A。
大家知道，不及物动词没有被动语态(因为不及物动词没有宾语，转换成被动语态便没有主语)。但这里要注意的是：由于受汉语的影响，有些不及物动词很容易被考生误认为是及物动词，从而误用被动语态。这类易用错的动词主要的有take place 发生 / happen 发生 / come about 发生 / breakout 爆发 / appear出现 / disappear 消失 / last 持续 等)。
