形式主语it引导的句型
一、以形式主语it引导的句型。
句型1. It (so) happened(chanced)that +clause. = sb. happened /chanced to do sth. =sb.did sth.by chance.

句型3. It is / was+被强调的部分+that(who)+剩余的部分.
如: It wasn't until he came back that I went to bed.直到他回来我才睡觉。(一定要注意被强调句型中的谓语动词否定的转移)。 It was because he was ill that he didn't come to school today.只因为他有病了今天没有来上学。(只能用because而不能用for, as 或since) It is I who am a student. 我确实是个学生。(句中am不能用are来代替。)
句型4.It is high time (time/ about time)+ (that) 主语+should do / did+其它。(从句中的谓语动词用的是虚拟语气。)
