1)Itisnecessarytokeepthebalanceofnature.
2)Itisnousecryingoverspiltmilk.
3)ItisamazingthatatmyageIamstillfitenoughtocycle20kilometersinanafternoon.
注意:
(1)在“Itdoesn’tmatter…”结构中一般用一般现在时。
Itdoesn’tmatterwhenyouleave.
(2)在“It’simportant/strange/necessarythatsb.(should)do”及“It’sapity/ashame/nowonderthatsb.(should)do”结构中常用虚拟语气来表达惋惜,惊奇,理应如此等情绪,should可以省略。
(3)在“Itisrequired/requested/demanded/recommended/ordered/proposedthatsb.(should)do”结构中,表示“请求,愿望,命令,建议”,用虚拟语气,should可以省略.
6.it用作形式宾语,把真正的宾语(不定式短语,动名词短语或者名词性从句)置于句尾。

1)Itiseasyforustolistentotheteacherattentively
2)It’simportantforyoutoobeytherules.
9.It’s+adj+ofsbtodosth修饰人(当使用for时,它所引出的名词或代词不但是后面动词不定式的逻辑主语,而且也是前面形容词的逻辑主语,所以,这种句子中的形容词一般都是表示人的特性的形容词。)
1)Itwasselfishofhimnottocontributeanything.
2)Itwasstupidofhertomakesuchamistake.
10.it用于强调句型中
⑴it用于强调句型“Itis/was…that/who…”中,被强调部分指人时用who/that引导。可用强调句型来分别强调句中的主语、宾语、地点状语和时间状语等,强调句中应避免使用when,where,which等词。
1)Humanactivityhascausedthisglobalwarming.
→Itishumanactivitythathascausedthisglobalwarming.(强调主语)
→Itisthisglobalwarmingthathumanactivityhascaused.(强调宾语)
2)IsawJohninthestreetthismorning.
→ItwasIwho/thatsawJohninthestreetthismorning.(主语)
→ItwasJohnthat/whomIsawinthestreetthismorning.(强调宾语)
→ItwasinthestreetthatIsawJohnthismorning.(强调地点状语)
→ItwasthismorningthatIsawJohninthestreet.(强调时间状语)
注意:如果去掉itis(was)+that仍能单独成句,就是强调句型,反之,则是名词性从句。如:
1)Itisfromthesunthatwegetheatandlight.(此句是强调句)
→Fromthesunwegetheatandlight.
2)Itisstrangethatshemarrysuchanoldman.(此句是主语从句,变成名词性从句时句首加上that才正确。)
→Thatshemarrysuchanoldmanisstrange.(√)
→Strangethatshemarrysuchanoldman.(×)
⑵it用于强调句型“Itis/wasnotuntil…that…”中。
“Itis/wasnotuntil…that…”已成为固定的强调句型“直到…才…”。
1)Itwasnotuntilwellintothe1950sthattheblackpeoplewereabletovote.直到五十年代末期黑人才有了选举权。
2)ItwasnotuntilyesterdaythatIknewthenewsofthefamousactress’death.
⑶it用于特殊疑问句的强调
强调特殊疑问句时把疑问词提前到句首,is/was置于it前,从句用陈述句语序。
1)WhenwasitthatNewChinawasfounded?
2)Wherewasitthatthelostcamerawasfound?
11.it用于其它句型中(容易与强调句型混淆的句型)
⑴It’sone’sturntodosth.
It’smyturntobeonduty.
⑵Itbe…before…
1)Itisnotlongbeforehewentaboard.
2)Itwillbehoursbeforehearriveshere.
⑶Itbe/hasbeen…since…
1)Itisthreeyearssincehelefttheschool.他毕业有三年了。
2)Itisthreeyearssincehestudiedattheschool.他不上学有三年了。
注意:since后跟短暂性动词时,表示此动作已开始多长时间了;since后跟延续性动词时,表示此动作已结束多长时间了。
⑷Itbe…when…
1)Itwasteno’clockinthemorningwhenhecameback.
2)ItwasSeptember10,1998whenIwenttoBeijingUniversity.
⑸Itbe….where…
ItisthetownwhereIwasborn.
⑹Soitiswith…
Heisagoodswimmerandcanswimacrosstheriver,soitiswithhisbrother.
⑺itisthefirsttimethat+havedone…
Itwasthefirsttimethat+haddone…
Itis(high)timethat…+did(shoulddo…)
1)Itishightimethathewenttoschool.(用虚拟语气)
2)ItisthefirsttimethatIhavebeenhere.
3)ItwasthesecondtimethatIhadvisitedtheplace.
12.注意下列结构用there而不要it
Thereissomethingwrongwith…有毛病
Thereisnodoubtthat…毫无疑问
Thereisnoneedtodo…不需要,不必…
Thereisnodenying…不可否认…
Thereisnohurryabout无需慌忙…
Thereisdodifficultyin…方面没困难…
Thereisnopossibilitythat…没可能…
Thereisnosense/pointindoing…是无意义的
