昨天是因为她妈妈病了,她才没来上学。
(4)在not...until...结构中对until引导的短语或从句进行强调时,需用It is/was not until...that...这一固定句型。that从句中谓语动词用肯定形式。
It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I recognised she was a famous film star.
直到她摘下墨镜我才认出她是一位著名的影星。

Do be careful when crossing the street.过马路时一定要当心。

温馨提示
(1)强调结构中,原句中谓语动词是过去时,强调结构中的be动词用was;原句谓语动词是现在时或将来时,强调结构中的be动词用is;be动词有时也可与表示推测的情态动词连用。
It must be John that/who cleaned the room.一定是约翰打扫的房间。

It is I that/who am in trouble.是我陷入了困境。
