1、The use of it(2)Unit 4 Grammar在上一单元我们已经讲解了it在句中可以用作许多成分,在本单元我们用图表的形式进行整理使同学们对it的用法有系统的掌握。性质功 能例 句代词用作人称代词,代替上文提到的人或事物。Who is it?Its me.Youve helped me a lot;Ill never forget it.性质功 能例 句代词用以代替指示代词this或that。Whats this?Its a computer.Whose book is that?Its hers.性质功 能例 句代词表示时间、天气、距离、价钱等。Its time for lun
2、ch.Its raining hard.Its two miles from the school to our home.引导词作形式主语,代替由不定式、动名词或从句等表示的真正主语。It is easy to buy a new radio.It is no use telling him that.It doesnt matter whether she comes or not.引导词作形式宾语,代替由不定式、动名词或从句等表示的真正宾语。I feel it my duty to helphim.We thought it no use doing that.Ive made it c
3、lear that nobody is allowed to smoke here.引导词表示强调,其结构是:It is/was+强调部分+that+原句剩余部分。此结构只限于强调状语、主语和宾语。注意:如果强调的是人,其后用that或who 均可;如果强调的是物、时间或地点等状语,其后只能用that不用where、when、why。引导词I saw Tom here yesterday.It was I that/who saw Tom here yesterday.It was Tom that/who I saw here yesterday.It was yesterday that
4、I saw Tom here.It was here that I saw Tom yesterday.引导词注意:若原句是notuntil句型,在强调until 部分时,要把否定形式放入被强调部分。例如:He didnt leave until l returned.=It wasnt until I returned that he left强调句型若强调谓语,则用do/does/did+动词原形,常译为“的确”“一定”等,该结构只能用于陈述句或祈使句中。引导的强调句与其它从句的区别在于:Do be patient!一定要有耐心。He does want to learn English
5、well.他的确想学好英语。It was in the place that I was born.(强调句)It was the place where I was born.(定语从句)易混的其它从句 强调句型中前后时态应一致;被强调的部分为主语、宾语和状语,若把it iswas和thatwho去掉,剩下的词语能重新组成正确的句子,而且不缺成分,否则就是其它从句。It was in 1945 that World War II ended.(强调句)It was 1945 when World War II ended.(状语从句)It is a long time since I met
6、 you last.(时间状语)It is time that you went to bed.(定语从句)我们用图表的形式对it的用法进行的归纳,相信同学们已经对it的用法有了更清晰的认识。接下来我们对it在强调句中的用法做一小结。用在强调句型中,为了强调句子的某一成分(通常是主语、宾语或状语),常用结构:It is/was 被强调部分that(who)I met Tom in the street yesterday It was I who(that)met Tom in the street yesterday.It was Tom that I met in the street y

8、子变成强调句。4.I didnt hear from her until lastsummer.5.Why does everyone think I am narrow-minded?It was not until last summer that I heard from her.Why is it that everyone thinks I am narrow-minded?口诀:代词 it 本意它,既可指这又指那;时间天气均可指,谈到距离也用它;假主假宾均可作,强调句型跟that。it在句子中可以作如此多的成分,那么我们如何区分it在句中的不同成分呢?1.It is two yea
