It’s polite to say “Thank you”.Explanation【拓展】
polite的副词形式为politely，意为“有礼貌地；客气地”。polite的反义词是impolite，意为“不礼貌的；粗鲁的”。如：
The girl told me politely that her mother was not at home.
It’s impolite to refuse others directly.Explanation2. It might seem more difficult to speak
politely than directly.
情态动词might 表达一种可能性及推
测的不确定性, 意思与表达可能性
的may相当, 表示“有可能, 也许
会”, 但语气更加委婉, 更不确定。
e.g. He might come, but it’s very unlikely.
他也许会来，但非常靠不住。Explanation3. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.
it作形式主语
【梳理】
在英语中, 如果主语是较长的动词
不定式或一个句子, 为了保持句子
结构的平衡, 避免头重脚轻, 通常
用it作形式主语放在句首, 而把真正
的主语放在句尾。Explanation常见的句型有：
1) It is + adj. (+ ____ + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等, 用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如：
It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour. forExplanation2) It is + adj. + ____ + sb. + to do sth.
常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind,
nice, clever, wise等, 用来对sb.的性
格、品质等进行说明。
