强调句型用法讲解与练习

强调句型是英语中常用句子结构，又是高考中的常见考点，其基本结构为：
It + be+
被
强调部分＋
that
＋句子其余部分。现将其用法归纳如下
:




1.
强调句型中，能够被强调的句子成分通常为 主语、状语、宾语等，不能用来强调谓
语动词、表语、补语、让步状语、条件状语等。





例如

It was in the park that I met my old teacher yesterday. (
强调地点状语
)




It is Mr. Smith that thinks Tom is a clever boy.
（强调主语）





2
．

强调句型中，连接词一般用
that
，如被强调的部分是人，也可用
who/ whom
，其他
一律用
that
，不能用
which, where, when
等，即使被强调的是物、时间状语或地点状语。





例如

It was at the gate that we met the inspectors this morning.




It is our head-teacher that/ who/whom we often turn to for help.




3
．

强调结构中，
无论被强调的是人还是物，
单数还是复 数，
be
动词一律用单数
is/was
形式，如果原句的谓语动词是一般过去 时，就用
was;
是一般现在时，就用
is
。也可以用

情 态动词＋
be
形式。





例如

It was the farmers that lived a hard life before liberation.




It might be yesterday that John bought a book for Mary.




４
.
强调句型也 有疑问句形式，包括一般疑问句、特殊疑问句和反意疑问句。一般疑
问句的强调形式，只需将
i s/ was
提前，移至句首即可，即：
Is/ Was it … that …
。特殊疑问
句的强调形式，须将陈述句变成一般疑问句，再在句首加上疑问词，即：疑问词（被强调部< br>分）＋
is/was + it + that +
句子其余部分。





例如

Was it last year that the building was completed
？





Where was it that you met your English teacher
？





It was the day before yesterday that you lost the money, wasn't it
？





５
. not … until…
结构在强调句型中的运用：
until引导的时间状语从句，也可以用在强
调句型中，但主要是其否定形式，如用在强调句型中，必须将< br>not
前移，写成
It
is/was
not
until … that …
。





例如

It was not until the class began that he came in.




It was not until last Friday that he finished reading the book.




６
.
当强调的是主语时，其谓语动词应和被强调的 人和物保持人称、数的一致。如果
被强调的主语是人称代词，宜用主格，间或也可用宾格。





例如

It is I who am going to attend the meeting.




It was I/me who cleaned the classroom.




7.
强调句型最容易与定语从句、主语从句和状语从句一起 考查，应是学习和复习的重
点。一般说来，如果把句子中的
It is/ was … tha t
去掉，稍加调整语序，能还原成完整句子，
并且句子意思依然完整，则为强调句型；否则，应 为其他句式。





例如

It was a small house that I used to live in. (
定语从句
)




It was at the school gate that I met an old friend of mine.
（强调句型）
