The baby is taken care of by Granny.宝宝由奶奶照看。(被动)

2.表示状态的动词不能用于被动语态
英语中有些动词(短语动词)不是表示动作,而是表示某种状态或情况,有“拥有、容纳、适合、缺
少、明白”等意,这类动词不能用于被动语态。这类动词有些是及物动词。常见的有:lack,fit适合,mean, hold, have有, flee, owe, total, remble, cost, equal, contain, suit, compri, become, last, posss, benefit, befit, suffice, suffer,befall降 临,fail, consist of, look like, feel like, belong to等。例如:

【提示】
①当have作“吃,接收,经历,度过”解时,虽用作行为动词,但一般不用于被动语态。例如:She has had lunch.[√]她吃过午饭了。
Lunch has been had by her.[×]
②当have作“得到,获得、欺骗、享受”解.或同某些介词、副词结合构成及物性短语动词时,可用于被动语态。例如:
