It句型
It句型主要有三个方面：
1. it引导的强调句型；
2. it作形式主语或者形式宾语；
3. it和since, before, when等连用。
为了提高同学们的应变能力，现对it引导的一些常见句型归纳总结如下：
1.It be+被强调成分+that/who-clause强调句型
用被强调成分是“人”时，连词用that或who都可以，否则，只能用that，而且，be动词只能用is 或was 两种形式。
例It was two years ago that he made an important invention.（原句是：He made an important invention two years ago.）就是在两年之前，他做出了一项重要的发明。
It was at 6 o’clock that he practiced playing the violin in the morning.（原句是：He practiced playing the violin at 6 o’clock in the morning.）他早上六点钟的时候练习拉小提琴。
辨It was 6 o’clock when he began to practice playing the violin in the morning.（早上他开始练习拉小提琴时是在六点钟）这是含有状语从句的复合句，而非强调句型，it指时间，it was 6 o’clock. 即“六点钟了。”
拓在not... until...句型中，强调until引导的状语从句时，用It is/was not until+被强调成分+that-clause结构。如：
I didn’t realize she was a famous film star until she took off her dark glasses. 直到她摘下墨镜我才意识到她是一位著名的电影明星。
变为强调句即：It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.
考It was not until near the end of the letter ______ she mentioned her own plan.（天津高考）
A. that
B. where
C. why
D. when
选A。此处考查固定句型not... until... 的强调句，其句型结构应为：It is/was not until... that+句子，故本题应选A。
2.It takes (sb.) some time/energy to do sth. 花（某人）……时间/精力做某事
用此句型中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。
例It took me three hours to finish my homework. 我花了三个小时才完成作业。
3.It be+adj./n.+for sb. to do sth.（for sb.表示动词不定式动作的执行者)
It be+adj.+of sb. to do sth.（of sb.既表示动词不定式动作的执行者又表示人所具备的性质或特征）
用此句型中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。
例It’s important for us to have a good command of English. 掌握好英语对我们来说是重要的。
It’s kind of him to put us up for the night. 他为我们提供住宿，真是太好了。
4.It is said/thought/hoped/believed/reported/suggested... that... 据说/认为/希望/报道/建议……
用此句型中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面that引导的从句，即主语从句。
例It is said that he is studying abroad. 据说他正在国外留学。
拓此句型可以用下面的形式表达相同的意思：
Sb. is said/thought/hoped/believed to do sth...（注意：suggest不适用于这种转换）
It is said that he is studying abroad.=He is said to be studying abroad.
5.主语+think/consider/believe/make/feel+it+adj./n.+for sb./of sb.+to do sth. 某人认为/使/觉得做某事对于某人来说是……
用此句型中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式。
例I feel it foolish of him to believe such a man. 我觉得他太傻了，竟然相信这样的人。
The timely rain had made it possible for the crops to grow well. 这场及时雨使得庄稼可以很好地生长。
考No matter where he is, he makes ______ a rule to go for a walk before breakfast.（陕西高考）
A. him
B. this
C. that
D. it
选D。句意：无论在哪儿，早餐之前散散步都是他的老规矩。由句意可知to go for a walk before breakfast是真正宾语，a rule 为宾补，故此处需用it充当形式宾语。
6.It be+时间+before-clause
用“It was (not)+时间段+before+一般过去时”意为“过了一段时间才……；没过多久就……”；“It will (not) be+时间段+before+一般现在时”意为“多久才……；不久就……”。
例It was not long before she learned those poems by heart. 她没过多久就背会了那些诗歌。
It was long before the police arrived. 过了很久警察才来。
It will be hours before he makes a decision. 要过好几个小时他才会做出决定。
It will not be hours before we meet again. 要不了几个小时我们还会再见面的。
考John thinks it won’t be long ______ he is ready for his new job.（湖南高考）
A. when
B. after
C. before
D. since
选C。句意：约翰认为不久他就能为他的新工作做好准备。所填词引导状语从句，构成It will not be+时间段+before状语从句，意思是“用不了多久就……”。
7.It is/has been+时间段+since... 自从……以来多久了
用该句型中since从句的谓语动词需使用一般过去时。
例It is three years since I last saw you. 自从我上次见到你到现在已经三年了。
考As is reported, it is 100 years ______ Tsinghua University was founded.（四川高考）
A. when
B. before
C. after
D. since
选D。句意：据报道，自从清华大学建校以来到现在已经有一百年了。此处需用It is... since... 句型，表示“自从……已经有……”，故本题选D。
8.It is+time for sth.=It’s time to do sth. 到了该做某事的时候了
用如果要具体说明该某人做某事的时候了，可以用It’s time for sb. to do sth.
例It’s time for us to leave. 到了我们该走的时候了。
9. It’s one’s turn to do sth. 轮到某人做某事
例It’s your turn to answer the question. 轮到你回答问题了。
10.It’s no use(good) doing sth. 做某事是没有用的
例It’s no use waiting here. Let’s go home. 在这儿等着也没用，我们回家吧。
