1、精品文檔新希望英語語法精講It ”作形式主語和形式賓語精品文檔It ”作形式主語和形式賓語的用法詳解It 作形式主語和形式賓語用法，是英語學(xué)習(xí)的主要語法項(xiàng)目之一。無論是單項(xiàng)選擇，還是完行填空， it用法始終是反復(fù)考查的重、熱點(diǎn)之一?，F(xiàn)將it 在特殊句型中作形式主語和形式賓語用法，進(jìn)行如下歸納分析，以供學(xué)習(xí)參考。一、 It 用作形式主語 當(dāng)不定式（短語）、動名詞（短語）或從句在某個(gè)句子中作主語時(shí)，為保持句子結(jié)構(gòu)前后平衡，避免頭重腳輕，因此常用 it 作形式主語置于句首，而將真正的主語放在句尾。此時(shí) it 只起先行引導(dǎo)作用，本身無詞義。e.g. It is wrong to tell a lie.

2、（說謊是錯(cuò)誤的。） It 為 to tell a lie 的形式主語It is no use arguing about it. （爭吵是沒用的。 ） It 為 arguing about it 的形式主語It is uncertain who will come. （ 誰要來還不確定。 ） It 為 who will come 的形式主語It 作形式主語的常見句型： It + be + 形容詞 + to do sth./ doing /that .e.g. It is very important to learn a foreign language.（學(xué)一門外語非常重要。）It is u

3、seless crying over the spilt milk. （覆水難收。）It was really surprising that she married a man like that.（ 她嫁給那樣的男士真讓人驚訝。 ） It + be + 名詞詞組 + doing / that .e.g. It is no good telling lies. （ 撒謊沒好處。 ）It is a pity that you didn' t go to see the film傷eSterdO看成那部電影真遺憾。）It is a truth that there would be no

4、 new China without the Communist Party.（沒有共產(chǎn)黨就沒有新中國，這是毋庸質(zhì)疑的。）It + be +過去分詞 + that .該句型常見動詞有： say, hope, think, suppose, expect, report, know, believe, decide, etc.e.g. It is said that they have invented a new type of computer. （據(jù)說他們發(fā)明了一種新型電腦。）It is believed that China will become one of the stronges

5、t countries in the world.（大家都相信中國將會步入世界強(qiáng)國之列。）It was reported that more than 170 thousand people died in the 2004 tsunami.（據(jù)報(bào)道，至少有十七萬人在2004 年那場海嘯中喪生。 ） It + seems / appears / happens等不及物動詞+ that .e.g. It seems that he enjoys pop songs very much.（4以乎他 4E 常喜歡流行歌曲。）It appears that Tom might change his m

6、ind.（看來湯姆可能會改變主意。） 若句子是疑問形式，就只能用 it 作形式主語。e.g. Does it matter much that they won' t come（tom'orroW?來彳艮重要嗎？）Is it true that he will go abroad next week?（他下周出國是真的嗎？） It + takes + （sb.） + some time + to do sth. 這是一個(gè)表示“（某人）花多少時(shí)間干某事”的句型，其中it是形式主語，代替后面的不定式（ to do sth.）,句型中的sb.也可以省略。e.g. It took me

7、 some time to read the reading materials.（ 我花了一些時(shí)間才讀完那段閱讀材料。 ）It took him fourteen hours to go to New Zealand from Shanghai by plane.（ 從上海乘飛機(jī)去新西蘭花了他14 小時(shí)。 ）How long does it take you to go to Beijing from Qingdao by train?（ 從青島坐火車到北京一般要花多久時(shí)間？ ） I am not sure, but I think it takes at least nine hours

8、to get there.（ 我不能肯定，但估計(jì)至少要九個(gè)鐘頭才能到那兒。 ）二、 It 用作形式賓語當(dāng)不定式（短語）、動名詞（短語）或從句在某個(gè)句子中作賓語時(shí)，為保持句子結(jié)構(gòu)平衡，避免句式結(jié)構(gòu)的混亂，常用 it 作形式賓語，而將真正的賓語放在句尾。此時(shí)it 仍只起先行引導(dǎo)作用，本身無詞義。下列四種情況須用 it 作形式賓語： 當(dāng)不定式 （短語） 、 動名詞 （短語） 或從句在復(fù)合賓語結(jié)構(gòu)中作某些動詞的賓語時(shí) （如 think, make, find, consider, feel, suppose 等）；e.g. They found it pleasant that they worked

10、t like it that he （我不喜歡他那么懶惰。） s so lazy.I hate it when my mother asks me to eat eggs. （我討厭母親要我吃雞蛋。） that 引導(dǎo)的賓語從句不能直接作介詞的賓語；e.g. You may depend on it that we shall always help you. （盡管放心，我們會隨時(shí)幫你的。）Would you see to it that she gets home early? （你負(fù)責(zé)保證她早到家，好嗎？）He insisted on it that he was innocent. （他

11、堅(jiān)持說自己是無辜的。） 由及物動詞與介詞組成的固定搭配中，賓語從句若作該動詞的賓語時(shí)，須借用 it 。e.g. I leave it to your own judgement whether you should do it. （我讓你自己判斷這事是否該做。）We owe it to you that there wasn' t a serious（aCcidentp 才沒有發(fā)生嚴(yán)重事故。）練習(xí)一1.
