四个易混淆的结构
“It’s...that...”,“ It is ... since ...”,“ It is ... before...”和“ It is ... when ...”是四个形似的句子结构,填对连词不容易。
1.“It’s...that...”
①当it 为形式主语时,that等为主语从句的连词,例如:
It is quite clear that he has read the book. 很显然, 他读过这本书。
It’s a problem where we could get so much money. 我们到哪里去弄这么多钱, 这是一个难题。
②It is(was)+被强调的部分+that(who)+原句其它部分”来强调说话人的意愿:
例句:It was on Monday night that all this happened.所有这一切发生在周一晚上.
It's me that he blamed.他怪的是我.
2. “ It is ... since ...”
It is + 时间段 + since…,
如果since后从句中常用非延续性动词,意思是“某人做某事有多长时间了”。 例如:
It is / has been four days since I caught a cold. 我感冒已四天了。
It is/ has been three years since his brother joined the army. 他哥哥入伍三年了。
如果since后从句中用延续性动词,则表示“某人不做某事有多长时间了”。 例如:
It’s years since I enjoyed myself that much . 我好多年没有玩得那么开心了
3. “ It is ... before...”
① “It was not long before...” 表示“没过多久就会... ...” 例如:
It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash. 没过多久一架直升飞机就到达现场,来营救坠机的幸存者.
② “It will be + 时间段 + before...” 表示“... .
