第一篇:“It is (was) … that(who)…”结构的强调句
“It is(was)„ that(who)„”结构的强调句
1.此强调结构的重要特征
“强调”就是使句子的某一部分比一般情况下显得更加重要。英语表达中,强调句子的某一成分,一般可用强调句型“It is(was)+that(who)+句子的其余部分”。这种强调结构也是英语高中里最常见的强调句语法考查。
此强调结构最重要的特征是it在句中无具体指代意义,只起引出被强调部分的作用,并且去掉强调结构“It is(was)… that(who)…”后,剩下的句子部分仍能组成一个意思完整的句子,这便是区别名词性从句和状语从句进而判断是不是强调句型的关键。请认真揣摩下面一道高考原题:
---Where did you get to know her?(07山东)---It was on the farm ____ we worked.A.that B.there C.which D.where 答案D。该句易误作强调句型,A是强干扰项。这里where we worked 是定语从句,修饰the farm。It指“与她相识”这件事,有具体的指代意义,由此可知不是强调句。该题很容易受思维定势的影响误以为考察强调句。而平时大家一再强调,用强调句型时即使强调地点状语,也不能用where而用that。
该句如果要用“it was… that”强调句型的话,可改写为“It was on the farm where we worked that I got to know her.”
2.具体结构和具体注意点
这种强调句的基本结构为“It +is(was)/should(could, might…)be+被强调部分+ that/who(whom)/whose+句子的其他成分”。如果被强调部分是人,用 “that”, “who”, “whom”;如果被强调部分是物,用 “that”或 “which”;如果强调状语时,也只能用 “that”, 不能“when”, “where”和 “why”。请理解以下句子:
(1)It was the congress that played the decisive role in declaring the war.(2)It was because it rained heavily that they didn’t go swimming.(不能用why)在做强调句练习时,需要注意:
a.强调的成分通常为主语、宾语、宾补、状语等,而作表语的形容词不能用作强调:
误:It is beautiful that Helen is.正:It is a beautiful lady that Helen is.b.强调句中 “who” 或“that” 后的谓语动词,应与前面被强调的名词或代词在人称、时态和数上保持一致:
(1)It is I who am responsible for the accident(人称)
(2)It was Tom that/who painted the paper black yesterday.(时态)
(3)More often it is the prime minister, but not the members of his cabinet, who visit other countries as the symbol of his country.(数)
c.对否定句中的某部分进行强调时,要注意 “not” 的前移:
(1)It was not in the street that I saw her.(比较: I didn’t see her in the street.)两句话的意思一样吗?
3.集中常见的变式和“It is/was + not until + 被强调部分+ that + „”结构
其实说变式是有些牵强的。因为所有的此类强调结构都符合一个特点,即it在句中无具体指代意义,只起引出被强调部分的作用,并且去掉强调结构“It is(was)… that(who)…”后,剩下的句子部分仍能组成一个意思完整的句子。只要符合这特点,此结构就可以用在其他句式当中。如:
(1)Was it those that the professor regarded with such contempt?(反问句)
注意
在疑问句中,当宾语是 “them” 时,强调时要改为 “those”
(2)Who was it that interviewed you?(特殊疑问句)
(3)What a glorious bonfire it was that you made!(感叹句)
(4)He told me that it was because he was ill that he was late.(宾语从句)
☆ “It is/was + not until + 被强调部分+ that + „”结构
最主要的难点是要理解其中until前面的not是被提前,而不是用来否定until后面的强调部分的。试辨析以下两个句子:
(1)It was not until dark that he realized it was too late to return home.(2)The boy didn’t have supper until his dad came back.根据第一句句意,not应该是被提前,而不是否定“dark”,原来的语序应该为“He didn’t realize it was too late to return home until dark.”,所以我们尽可以大胆断定这是一个强调句。第二句里的not是直接否定have supper的,是一个简单的“not…until…”表达。辨析这两个句子的用意就是在于使学生理解注意此强调结构中not的特点,而不要考场时临时混淆。

第三篇:英语强调句小结
英语强调句小结
强调句子的方法有四种: I.倒装结构
1.用在以never, hardly, not only, nor, seldom, little, rarely, not until, hardly…when.no sooner …than 等表示否定意义或半否定意义的副词或词组开头的句子中。(1)No sooner had he gone to bed than he fell asleep.(2)Not only did Lincoln set the slaves free, he also reunited the nation.(3)Not until the early years of the 19th century did man know what the heat is.(4)Not until I began to work did I realize how much time I had wasted.(5)Not until all the fish died in the river did the villagers realize how serious the pollution was.2.表语提前,不仅可以表示强调,而且可使句子结构达到平衡协调,使带有较长修饰语
的主语放到句子的后部,以避免头重脚轻。
(6)Such is the little of our home in space when measured up against the total substance of the universe.3.从属连词as, however, though 等可引出强调让步状语从句,表示非常强烈的对照。(7)Busy as he always is, Bob never refuses to help others.(8)However late she is, mother will wait for him to have dinner together.4.当only与它所修饰的状语一起位于句首时,须用倒装语序,only起强调作用。其句形为“only + 状语+ 部分倒装语序”。
(9)Only in this way can you make progress in your English.II.It引出强调结构
1.为了强调句子的某个成分(主语,宾语,状语),常用强调结构:“It is(was)+被强调部分+that(who)…”。在强调句中作主句的主语。(10)It was at the gate that he told me the news.(11)Was it during the Second World War that he died?(12)It was about 600 years ago that the first clock with a face and an hour hand was made.It was only when I reread his poems recently that I began to appreciate their beauty.2.为了加强语气,我们可以将not until用在It be …that ,…”强调句型中,组成 “It be not until…that…” 结构,not 的否定功能仍不变,用来否定后面的谓语动词。(14)It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.(15)It was not until 1920 that regular radio broadcasts began 3.It is /was /will be(not)years /months/ weeks/ days/hours/minutes/seconds before….很就(不久)。。。才(就)。。
(16)It was not long before the policeman caught the thief.(17)I lost my job and it was several months before I found another one.III.双重否定结构
双重否定结构是由否定词not, never, nobody, nothing 等与带否定意义的词或词组相配
合而构成的。双重否定即否定的否定,实质是肯定,而且语气较为强烈。(18)One is never too old to learn.(19)I don’t think it possible to master a foreign language without much memory work.(20)Without knowledge of science and technology, it is impossible to build our country into a
strong and socialist country.(21)Unless he comes.We won’t be able to go.IV.Do(does/did)引出强调句
1.在肯定句的谓语动词之前(通常是现在时和过去时的肯定句),可用助动词do(does/did)来
强调动词,这时谓语动词须用原形动词。Do(does/did)可译成“确实”“的确”。(22)To my great joy, the plant did look exactly like what we were looking for.(23)He does work hard and finish the job in time.2.在肯定的祈使句中,用动词do来加强语气,可译成“务必,一定,千万”(24)Do come and see us some day.(25)Do give her my regards.
第四篇:英语强调句及it用法
英语强调句及it用法大全
强调句、It的用法、省略和插入语
一、强调句
(一)强调句句型
1、陈述句的强调句型:It is/ was + 被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/ who(当强调主语且主语指人)+ 其它部分。
e.g.It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.2、一般疑问句的强调句型:同上,只是把is/ was提到it前面。
e.g.Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
3、特殊疑问句的强调句型:被强调部分(通常是疑问代词或疑问副词)+ is/ was + it + that/ who + 其它部分?
e.g.When and where was it that you were born?
4、强调句例句:针对I met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.句子进行强调。
强调主语:It was I that(who)met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.强调宾语:It was Li Ming that I met at the railway station yesterday.强调地点状语:It was at the railway station that I met Li Ming yesterday.强调时间状语:It was yesterday that I met Li Ming at the railway station.5、注意:构成强调句的it本身没有词义;强调句中的连接词一般只用that, who,即使在强调时间状语和地点状语时也如此,that, who不可省略;强调句中的时态只用两种,一般现在时和一般过去时。原句谓语动词是一般过去时、过去完成时和过去进行时,用It was …,其余的时态用It is …。
(二)not … until … 句型的强调句
1、句型为:It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其它部分 e.g.普通句:He didn’t go to bed until/ till his wife came back.强调句:It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.2、注意:此句型只用until,不用till。但如果不是强调句型,till, until可通用;因为句型中It is/ was not … 已经是否定句了,that后面的从句要用肯定句,切勿再用否定句了。
(三)谓语动词的强调
1、It is/ was … that … 结构不能强调谓语,如果需要强调谓语时,用助动词do/ does或did。
e.g.Do sit down.务必请坐。
He did write to you last week.上周他确实给你写了信。
Do be careful when you cross the street.过马路时,务必(千万)要小心啊!
2、注意:此种强调只用do/ does和did,没有别的形式;过去时用did,后面的谓语动词用原形。
二、It的用法
(一)作人称代词
1、it代替前面(或后面)的单数名词或分句等所表示的事物。
e.g.You cannot eat your cake but have it.(it代替前面的cake)
Although we cannot see it, there is air all around us.(it代替后面的air)
They say he has left town, but I don’t believe it.(it代替前面They…town分句中的情况)
2、代替有生命但不能或不必分阴阳性的东西(包括婴儿)。
e.g.Yesterday we saw a big tree.It was fully twenty metres high.(it代替前面的tree)
The baby cried because it was hungry.(it代替前面的baby)
3、在某些习惯说法中,可以代替人。e.g.----Someone is knocking at the door, Peter.----Who is it?----It’s me.----Who are singing?----It is the children.----The light is still on in the lab.It must be the third-year students doing the experiment.4、it与one的区别:这两个词都可以代表前面说过的名词,但it用于同名同物的场合;one则用于同名异物的场合。
e.g.----Do you still have the bicycle?----No, I have sold it.----Is this knife yours?----No.It is Xiao Zhang’s.Mine is the one on the desk.5、it与that的区别:两词都可代替某一特定名词,但that指同一类,并非同一个。
e.g.The climate of South China is mild(温和的);I like it very much.(it指the climate of South China)
The climate of South China is much better than that of Japan.(that指the climate)
(二)作无人称代词
it作无人称代词时,除了句中找不到它所代表的词语外,另一个特点是它后面的内容都是表示天气、时间、距离、度量衡及情况等。
It is fine(rainy, windy, etc.).It is noon.It is a half hour’s walk to the factory.It is eighteen square metres in area.What does it matter?
(三)作强调词,构成强调结构 用以帮助改变句子结构,使句子的某一成分受到强调。“It is(was)+ 所强调的成分 + that(who)+ 其它成分。”在这个句型中,it本身没有词义。详见“
一、强调句”。
(四)引导词it作形式主语(宾语)
为了使句子平衡,常采用形式主语(或宾语)it,而把真正的主语(或宾语)置于句子后面。通常引导词it与它所代替的句子成分中间要夹有某些词。
e.g.It takes half an hour to go there on foot.(It与to go there on foot之间夹有takes half an hour四个词)
We thought it strange that Mr Smith did not come last night.(it与that从句中间夹有 strange)
但有时it与所替代部分之间并不夹有其它词。
e.g.You may depend on it that they will support you.(因为介词on之后一般不直接接that引导的宾语从句。注意:it不是多余的,不能当作错句)
