形式主语
What is the use “it” in each sentence
“It” is a very useful word in English and can be used in many ways.
“It” can be used in the subject or object position to stand for an infinitive, -ing form or a clause.
For example:
1. It is amazing that at my age I am still fit.
2. It is easier to fall than to rise.
3. I think it best that you should do more
exercise.
4. It is no good crying over spilt milk.
5. He found it difficult to accustom himself to
getting up early.
It is a warm sunny afternoon.
It was nearly midnight that she came back.
It is very noisy outside.
It is half an hour’s walk to the city centre.
“It” can also be used to talk about time, distance, weather, etc.
1. it的最基本用法是作代词,主要指刚提到的
事物,以避免重复。
Xi’an is a beautiful city, isn’t it
2. 也可以指动物或婴儿
Is this your dog?No, it isn’t.
一、it 作人称代词
it有时并不指具体的东西,而泛指天气、时间、
日期、距离、价值、度量、温度、环境等,
称为非人称的it:
指天气:It is a lovely day, isn’t it
It is a bit windy. 指时间: It was nearly midnight when she came
back.
指环境: It was very quiet in the café.
指距离:It is half an hour’s walk to the city
centre from my home.
二、it作非人称代词
指日期: -- What's the date today
-- It's May 1, 2007.
指季节:It is summer now.
指度量:It is about 5 kilograms.
指价值:--- What's the cost of the T-shirt
--- It is 150 yuan.
替代作主语的从句、动词不定式、动名词,而把真正作主语的从句、动词不定式、动名词置于句尾。
三、it用作形式主语
(1) It be + adj.+ (for sb.) to do sth.
此处的adj. 通常为描述事件的形容词:easy,
difficult,hard,necessary,unnecessary,
possible,impossible,likely,unlikely,
right,wrong,important,unimportant,
legal,illegal,well-mannered,impolite,
ill-mannered,polite,clear,obvious,
certain,suitable,proper, useful,useless,
dangerous…
It is illegal (for a teenager) to drive a car
without a license.
1. 代作动词不定式主语

unkind,nice,rude,cruel,considerate,
thoughtful,thoughtless,careful,
careless,silly,foolish,stupid,clever,
wise,crazy.
It’s kind of you to help me with the problem.
It's no good/use doing…
It's(well)worth doing…
It's(well)worth one's while doing/to do…
It's(well)worth while doing/ to do
It's no use crying over spilt milk.
(3) it替代动名词作主语的常见句型
2. it作形式主语, 替代主语从句
It is clear/obvious/true/possible/certain … that ...
该句型中it 是形式主语,真正的主语是that 引导的主语从句,常译为“…是清楚的/显然的/ 真的/……”, 是主语从句最常见的一种结构。例如:
It is very clear that he’s round and tall like a tree.
①It is + adj. +clause
It is said /reported/ learned/believed /thought
/known/told/hoped ... that ...
该句型中的it 仍是形式主语,真正主语是that 引导的主语从句;该结构常译为“据说(据报道,据悉…)”。
It is said that he has come to Beijing.
It is reported that another earth satellite has been put into orbit.
② It is v-ed that…
③ It is + n. +从句
It is a pity /a shame /an honor /a good thing/a
fact /a surprise/... that ...
该句型中,that后的从句一般用虚拟语气(should + 动词原形),should可省去,表示
出乎意料,常译为“竟然”。没有这种意义
时,则不用虚拟语气。例如:
It is a pity that such a thing (should) happen in your class.
这种事竟然发生在你们班上,真是遗憾!
It is a pity that he is ill. 他生病了,真遗憾!
四、it作形式宾语
当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式、动名词或从句时,往往把宾语放在补足语后面,而用it 作形式宾语,放在宾语补足语之前。
该句型中的it 作形式宾语,常用的动词有think, believe, make, find, consider, feel等。
I think it no use arguing with him.
我认为和他争吵没有用。
I found it very interesting to study English.
我发现学英语非常有趣。
He made it clear that he was not interested in this subject.
他非常清楚地表示他对那门学科不感兴趣。
one表示泛指,that和it 表示特指。that与所指名词为同类,但不是同一个,而it 与所指名词为同一个。 I can’t find my hat. I think I must buy one.
(不定) The hat you bought is bigger than that I
bought. (同类但不同个) I can’t find my hat. I don’t know where I put
it. (同一物)
代词it, one & that的区别

expensive.

3. It is a dirty habit.
4. It is more difficult to stop than it is to start.
Second, talk to your friend gently and

You will not begin smoking to suit her. Give her the information above and then explain that whatever she chooses to do, you will remain her friend.
Don’t be disappointed, Xiaolei.
Good luck and best wishes,
Keke
