Tim's English was very poor when he came to England,so he couldn't make himself understood.
这里为什么用understood而不用understand
“make+宾语+V-ed(过去分词作宾补)”这个结构指宾语接受后面的那个动作,表示被动的意思,意为 “使某人 / 某事被……”.如:The strange noise made us frightened.奇怪的声音使我们感到恐惧.The good news made us excited.这个好消息使我们兴奋.友情提示:通常情况下,make后的宾语是反身代词时,作宾补的动词要用过去分词,即:make oneself+V-ed (heard,known,understood).如:He couldn't make himself heard above the noise of the traffic.在交通嘈杂声中他无法使自己的声音提高到让别人听到.但有时,根据句子意思也可用其他形式.如:The little child stood on the chair to make himself look taller.那个小孩儿站在椅子上,使他看上去更高些.Rock singers,on the other hand,make music their life.摇滚乐歌手,另一方面,把音乐当作他们的生命.
Make himself understood是使他自己被理解
make oneself done后面是过去分词,从而与主语之间构成的是被动关系,简而言之,就是让他自己表达清楚,或者说,让自己表达的能被别人所理解。
