易错句子The small village islanded by the flood for three days.
正确表达The small village was islanded by the flood for three days.
island 是及物动词，主语 the village 是动作的承受者，英语必须用被动语态 be + 过去分词。汉语靠“被”字表被动，动词本身不变形，学习者常因此漏掉 be 动词；补上 was 才构成被动结构。

正确表达The small village was islanded by the flood for three days.
被动语态中 be 动词后面必须接过去分词，不能用动词原形。island 是规则动词，其过去分词为 islanded，词尾要加 -ed；汉语动词没有词形变化，容易漏掉这一词尾。
