“it”作形式主语
“it”作为形式主语,主要用于使句子平衡,避免英语句子出现头重脚轻,也就是真正的主语部分过分复杂庞大的问题。“it”主要在以下三种情况下作真正主语:
一、不定式为真正主语时:
1. It is/ was+ adj.部分+ to do sth.
Eg. It is necessary to finish the work before leaving for a holiday. **经常谈论“it is+ adj. for sb to do sth.”或者“it is+ adj. of sb to do sth.”的问题。形容词后用of或者用for与形容词所形容的对象有关。 我在非谓语动词不定式部分已经讲过,如形容词形容的是sb,则用of;反之 如果形容词形容的是to do sth,则用for。所以刚才的例句可以变为: It is necessary for the manager to finish the work before leaving for a holiday.
2. It is/ was+ n.部分+ to do sth.
Eg. It is a great pleasure to meet friends from afar.
3. It+ v.部分+ to do sth. 注意,动词不定式作真正主语时,并不是谓语部分只出现be动词,也会出现一些动词,常用的有:take, cost, need, require, make, sound, occur等等。
Eg. 1>. It takes me 20 minutes to walk from my house to school. 2>. It sounds great to make a trip there.
3>. It cost them almost 1 million to buy that cottage.
二、动名词作真正主语时:
1. It is/ was+ adj.部分+ doing sth.
注意在非谓语动词的动名词部分已经提过用于此情况(后跟动名词)的形容词相对固定,有good, useless, foolish, hard, enjoyable, worthwhile和nice。 个别形容词如“nice”后既可跟不定式又可跟动名词,则跟动名词的情况多表示该动作已完成或即将完成。
2. It is/ was+ n.部分+ doing sth.
后跟动名词的名词常有:use, good, fun, a waste of sth., job, task等。 Eg. 1>. It’s no use apologizing to me.
2>. It’s a good job working in the library.
三、名词性从句作真正主语(主语从句,同位语从句,表语从句) 1. It is/ was+ adj.部分+从句
此处的形容词常有certain, obvious, wonderful, true, strange, natural, possible, likely等。 Eg. It’s obvious that you have made a very good impression on the teacher.
2. It is/ was+ n.部分+从句
此处常用动词包括a surprise, an hour, a pity, a fact等等。 It was a pity that you lost the game! 3.It is/ was+ v.部分+从句
此处常用的动词包括seem, happen, appear, look, matter, make, occur(猛然想起)
Eg. It doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white as long as it catches the mice.
这句话中,真正的主语为划线部分。但是如果将它置于句首,则主语部分太长,因此用it代替放在谓语部分doesn’t前。类似的还有:
It made this father happy that his daughter could read well.
It seems that you don’t enjoy your job. 4. It is/ was+分词+从句
此处常用的分词有said, believed, reported, known, proved, decided, expected, puzzling, surprising, amusing等等。 Eg. It’s reported that they have divorced. It’s puzzling how they solved this problem,
