高二英語It句型大掃描
c. when was it that d. when it was
4. 有時可用it might be ...that ...,和it must have been...that...的句型表示強調。
e.g. (1)it might be his father that you are looking for.
(2)it must have been his brother that you met.
5. 強調not...until結構中由until引導的短語(或從句)表示時間狀語的句型是:it is(was) not until...+that...+其他部分。
e.g. 1)he didn’t marry until forty.
it was not until forty that he married.
(2)mr. yang did not leave the lab until he got everything ready for the experiment.
it was not until he had got everything ready for the experiment that mr. yang left the lab.
(3)_____ he realized it was too late to return home.
a. not until dark b. it was until dark that
c. it was not until dark that d. it was dark that
注意:如果not...until放在句首時就要用部分倒裝句式,它的語序和在not...until結構中由until引導的短語(或從句)表示時間狀語的句型中的語序不同。
6. 強調詞it與先行詞it的區別。
強調詞it與先行詞it的區別可以通過恢復原句的方式來判斷,即如果把it is...that...去掉后剩下的成分仍然能組成一個完整的句子,這就是強調句型,否則就不是。
it is there that accidents often happen.
→ accidents often happen there.
以上就是強調句型,被強調成分是狀語,把it is...that...去掉,還原成后來的非強調句。
it is clear that not all boys like football.
上面的句子如果去掉it is...that...后就成了clear not all the boys like football.很顯然這不是一個完整的句子,因此不是強調句型,而是由it作先行詞引導的一個主語從句。
7. 其他的一些強調句型:
it is/was+時間段+since從句,
it +時間段+before從句,
it is/was+時間點+when從句。
1)it is/was + 時間 + since …,從……已多久了。在這個句型中,主句通常用一般現在時,since從句用過去時,表示一個時間點。
e.g.(1)it is five months since i arrived in new york. 我到紐約已五個月了。
(2)it is five months since i was in new york.我離開紐約已經五個月了。
注意:例句中five months是作為一個整體看待的,所以用it is。在這類句子中,終止性動詞表示從動作發生時算起;如果是狀態動詞或持續性動詞,則從動作或狀態結束時算起。
2)it is + 時間+ before …。在這個句型和上面一個句型中,時間都是時間段,如years,five days,twenty minutes等。不過主句的時態多用一般將來時或一般過去時,從句的時態要根據主句的時態進行變化。before前的主句如果是肯定的,翻譯成“在……之后才……” 主句如果是否定的,翻譯成“不久就……”
