在执行计划之前他们已经被警告过多次了。
[温馨提示] 在英语口语中,有时可用"get+过去分词"构成被动语态。

上周他从车上掉下来,摔死了。
(二)使用被动语态应注意的问题
1.不及物动词和表示状态的动词一般不用于被动语态。
Great changes have taken place in my hometown since 2016.
自从2016年以来我的家乡发生了很大的变化。
[温馨提示] 没有被动语态的常见动词或动词短语
常见的不及物动词(短语):happen,occur,take place,break out,run out,come true,fall asleep,lose heart等。
常见的没有被动语态的及物动词(短语):have(有);fit(适合);cost(花费);hold(容纳);last(持续);belong to;take part in等。
2.感官动词(see,watch,hear,notice,listen to,look at)或使役动词make等后接不带to的不定式作宾补,但变被动语态时,不定式符号to必须加上。
We often hear him play the guitar.
→He is often heard to play the guitar by us.
我们经常听到他弹吉他。
(三)主动形式表示被动意义的情况
(1)系动词(feel,look,seem,taste,sound,seem,become,turn,prove,get,grow等)+形容词,构成系表结构。
This shirt feels much softer than that one.
这件衬衫比那件衬衫摸起来柔软多了。
(2)表示主语的特征或特点的动词,如write,sell,wash,cook等常用主动形式表示被动含义,这时常与副词easily,well等连用。
The pen writes smoothly.
这钢笔书写流利。
His new novel sells well.
