It 的用法详解
代词中的it是历年高考的重要考点,近几年仍表现为热门命题点。然而,命题者会更加注重的在特定语言环境中对代词的理解,以及it充当形式主语或形式宾语等的用法。英语中it有许多巧妙用法,指具体事物、前文已提到的或下文要提到的事物,可作为形式主语、形式宾语,可用于强调句或某些句型结构中等。灵活运用it可使作文结构更紧凑,提升得分层次。下面分类介绍一下it的十八种用法。
一、做形式主语:为了避免头重脚轻,在英语中经常用it作形式主语,动词不定式(短语)或从句,作真正主语,有时候也可以用动名词(短语)作主语。
It is+形容词+for+sb.+to do sth.(important/ necessary/ common /difficult /impossible...)
It is impossible for me to finish this work before tomorrow.
It is+(心理品质方面的)形容词+of+sb.+to do sth(Kind/ nice/ foolish/cruel/right /wrong...)
It is kind of you to help me out of my trouble =You are kind to help me out of my trouble. 你真好,帮助我摆脱了麻烦。
It is/was said/reported/ thought/ expected/announced ...)+that从句,意为“据说/据报道…”
It is widely accepted that diet has a significant impact on our health. 人们普遍认为饮食对健康有重大影响。
It is impossible/necessary/strange/natural /essential ...+that从句。(从句中的谓语用should+do的形式时是虚拟语气,should可以省略)
It is strange that he should have failed in this exam. 真奇怪,他这次考试竟没有及格。
5. It is/was+名词词组(no wonder, no surprise, an honor, a good thing, a pity ...)+that ...;
It is a great honor that I have such a precious opportunity to make a speech here.
It would be a pity that he should have missed this film yesterday.
昨天他要是错过了这部电影,会很可惜。 (虚拟,与过去事实不符)
小贴士:① 表示客观事实时,从句不用虚拟语气;② 与客观事实不符时,从句需使用虚拟语气,与现在事实不符,从句谓语动词用should do, 与过去事实不符,从句谓语动词用should have done
6.It is suggested/ordered/commanded .......+that 从句。
(在表示建议/命令时从句的谓语动词用should do,should可省略)。

二、做形式宾语
1.it 作形式宾语,用于“动词+it+宾补+真正的宾语”即“6123”结构中:
“6”指常用动词:think,believe,consider,find, feel, make
“1”指形式宾语:it
“2”指宾补的两种形式:形容词和名词
“3”指三种真正的宾语形式:不定式,动名词和宾语从句

他清楚地表明会议不会被推迟。
I would appreciate/ like/ love /prefer/hate/dislike it if / when...
I would appreciate it very much if you could take my suggestions into account.
4.主语+see to(确保)/ depend on/rely on/count on /...+it +that 从句;take it for granted that(认为...理所当然);owe it to sb that...(把...归功于)
eg: Nowadays it is typical of a young generation to take it for granted that parents should meet whatever they desire.
当今,年轻一代理所当然地认为父母应该满足他们的一切欲望,这是他们的典型特征。
三、用于特殊句式中
①It is/has been+时间段+since+主语+did

2.①It is/was+表示时间的名词+when+从句
②It is/was+表示地点的名词+where+从句

② It was because he was ill that he didn't come to school today. 因为他生病了,今天才没有来上学。
③ It is Tom who/that told me about the news.是汤姆告诉了我这个消息。
