a number of(许多,谓语用复数) vs the number of(……的数量,谓语用单数)—— 高频易混。
turn off(关)vs turn on(开):接 water / light / electricity 等。
cut down(砍倒树木)vs cut down on(减少用量):介词 on 不可省。
03 核心语法:强调句(It is / was ... that ...)
强调句(the emphatic sentence)用于突出句子中的某一成分(主语、宾语、状语等)。英语中最常见的是 It is / was ... that / who ... 结构。强调句是中高职英语的高频考点,也是书面表达中增强语气的利器。
▍一、基本结构
强调成分
结构
原句 → 强调句
强调主语
It is / was + 主语 + that / who ...
Tom broke the window. → It was Tom that broke the window.
强调宾语
It is / was + 宾语 + that ...
I need water. → It is water that I need.
强调状语
It is / was + 状语 + that ...
I met him yesterday. → It was yesterday that I met him.
强调地点
It is / was + 地点 + that ...
We first met here. → It was here that we first met.
把 It is / was ... that ... 去掉后,若剩下的部分能还原成完整句子 → 强调句;若不能 → 多为定语从句。
例:It was Tom that broke the window. 去掉后 → Was Tom broke the window? 语序需调整(Tom broke the window)✓ → 强调句。
例:It is a book that I like. 去掉后 → Is a book I like? 不完整 → 定语从句(that 作宾语)。
▍二、that / who / whom 的选用
情况
连接词
强调主语(人)
that / who 均可:It was Tom who / that helped me.
强调主语(物 / 一切)
只能用 that:It is money that matters.
强调宾语 / 状语(任何情况)
只能用 that,不能用 which / when / where:It was in 2020 that ...
强调人(口语,主语)
who 较常见,但 that 永远正确、最保险
强调时间、地点、原因等状语时,不能用 when / where / why,一律用 that。
❌ It was 2020 when I graduated. → ✅ It was 2020 that I graduated.(强调时间状语)
❌ It is here where we first met. → ✅ It is here that we first met.(强调地点状语)
▍三、人称与时态一致
原句时态
强调句 be 动词
例句
一般现在时
It is ... that ...
It is I who am right.
一般过去时
It was ... that ...
It was Tom that told me.
其他时态
is / was 不变,其余部分用完整形式
It is because he is ill that he is absent.
强调句不用 am / are / were / will be 等。无论原句多复杂,be 永远用 is(现在)或 was(过去)。
❌ It are trees that clean the air. → ✅ It is trees that clean the air.
▍四、强调句的特殊句式(难点)
特殊句式
结构
例句
强调谓语
do / does / did + 动词原形
I do hope you can come.
强调 not...until
It is / was not until ... that ...
It was not until he came that I left.
强调疑问句
把 is / was 提前:Is / Was it ... that ...?
Was it Tom that broke it?
强调感叹
What / How ... it is (that) ...!
What a day it was!
原句:I didn't know the truth until he told me.
第一步:把 not until 提到 It was 之后 → It was not until ...
第二步:原句谓语还原为肯定(didn't know → knew)→ that I knew the truth.
结果:It was not until he told me that I knew the truth.(that 后语序正常,不用倒装)
▍五、强调句与相似结构的辨析(★★ 必背考点)
对比项
强调句
定语从句 / 其他
形式
It is / was ... that ...
It is + n. + that 从句(主语从句等)
去掉 It is ... that
剩下可还原为完整句
剩下不完整 / 是主语从句
that 作用
只起强调作用,不作成分
在从句中作成分(主 / 宾 / 表)
例句
It is he that is right.(强调主语)
It is true that he is right.(主语从句)
第一步:看是否有 It is / was ... that ... 框架;
第二步:去掉框架,剩余部分能否直接成句(调整语序即可)→ 能 = 强调句;
第三步:强调成分用 that(状语一律 that,人可用 who),注意 be 只用 is / was。
