強調(diào)句型是英語語法教學(xué)的一項重要內(nèi)容,也是教學(xué)中的一個難點。現(xiàn)總結(jié)如下:
It is/was+被強調(diào)部分+that(強調(diào)部分是人時也可用who/whom)+其他部分。例如:
I met him in the street this morning.
It was I who met him in the street this morning.(強調(diào)主語)
It was him that I met in the street this morning.(強調(diào)賓語)
It was in the street that I met him this morning.(強調(diào)地點狀語)
It was this morning that I met him in the street.(強調(diào)時間狀語)
1.強調(diào)主語用人稱代詞主格,強調(diào)賓語用賓格。
It was him that they telephoned.
It is I who am wrong.
2.連接詞一般用that,當(dāng)強調(diào)部分是人時,強調(diào)主語也可用who,強調(diào)賓語也可用whom/who。特別注意當(dāng)強調(diào)部分是時間狀語或地點狀語時,不能用when或where。
It was at the theatre that Lincoln was murdered.
It was on Oct.1st,1949 that people’s Republic of China was founded.
3.若強調(diào)部分是句子的主語,則其他部分中的謂語動詞應(yīng)和強調(diào)部分保持人稱和數(shù)的一致,即:強調(diào)部分是單數(shù),謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式;若強調(diào)部分是復(fù)數(shù),則謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
It is Tom who of ten helps me with my English.
It is I that am f or you.
It is the boy students of class Two who are playing f ootball on the playground.
4.疑問句中的強調(diào)句型。
It was in the classroom that the meeting was held.
→Was it in the classroom that the meeting was held?
What made Tom angry?
→What was it that made Tom angry?5.強調(diào)句型與定語從句的區(qū)別。
It was at 7 o’clock that I arrived.It was 7 o’clock when I arrived.6.強調(diào)句型與主語從句的區(qū)別。
It is true that he is honest.
7.強調(diào)句型與其他句型的區(qū)別。
It is three years since he came here.
It was not long bef ore the f ire was put out.
8.強調(diào)句型與定語從句的結(jié)合。
It was at midnight when everyone was sleeping that the earthquake happened.
Was it in the house where his grandf ather once lived that they f ound the old picture?
在“It is/was+被強調(diào)部分+that/who/whom+其他部分”這個結(jié)構(gòu)中,如果去掉it is/was和that后,剩余部分仍能組成一個完整的句子,那么,這個句子為強調(diào)句型。下面我們來判斷一下幾個句子是否為強調(diào)句型:
It was at midnight that he came home.(強調(diào)句型)
It was midnight when he came home.(非強調(diào)句型)
It is the ability to do the job that matters not where you come f rom or what you are…(強調(diào)句型)
