[语法精析]
it 作形式主语
当主语部分相对于谓语部分而言太长时,常把主语部分移到句尾,在主语的位置放上 it。it 没有具体的意义,仅用于使句子显得平稳,不头重脚轻。it 作形式主语时常代替三种语法结构:动词不定式(短语)、动词ing(短语)和从句。
一、it 代替不定式(短语)作形式主语
it代替不定式(短语)作形式主语的常见句型:
It is difficult for a foreigner to learn Chinese.外国人学习汉语不容易。(It作形式主语,代替不定式复合结构for a foreigner to learn Chinese)
It is everyone's duty to obey the law.遵守法律是每个人的义务。(It 作形式主语,代替不定式短语to obey the law)
It took them a year to build the bridge.建这座桥花了他们一年的时间。(It作形式主语,代替不定式短语to build the bridge)
It is up to us to help those in need.帮助那些有困难的人是我们的责任。(It作形式主语,代替不定式短语to help those in need)
[易混辨析]
“It+be+形容词+for sb.to do sth.”与“It+be +形容词+of sb.to do sth.”
如果形容词描述的是人的品质、品格,介词用of;如果形容词描述不定式所表示动作的特征,介词用for。
It's important for us to learn English well.
学好英语对我们来说很重要。
It's kind of you to help me.
感谢你帮助我。

①It is a great joy for children to_have (have)a harmonious family,where parents treat their children like a friend.
② It is difficult to figure out a global population of polar bear.
③It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to_start (start) working.
二、it 代替动词ing(短语)作形式主语
it代替动词ing(短语)作形式主语的情况远不及 it 代替不定式(短语)作形式主语那么普遍。常见句型:It+be+no good/no use/useless/a waste/...+动词ing(短语)。
It is no good/use having a car if you can't drive.
如果你不会开车,有车也没用。
(It作形式主语,代替动词ing 短语having a car)
It is a waste of time watching TV.
看电视是浪费时间。(It 作形式主语,代替动词ing 短语 watching TV)
It is no use talking to him about it.
和他谈这事没有用。(It作形式主语,代替动词ing 短语 talking to him about it)
三、it代替从句作形式主语
it所替代的从句可以用that引导,也可以用whether/if、连接代词或连接副词引导。
It was clear that they had no desire for peace.显然他们并不想要和平。(It作形式主语,代替从句that they had no desire for peace)
It is doubtful whether she will be able to come.
她能否来还很难说。(It作形式主语,代替从句whether she will be able to come)
It was clear enough what she meant.她的意思够清楚了。(It作形式主语,代替从句what she meant)
