◆ 独立主格结构的特点:
①独立主格结构的逻辑主语与句子的主语不同,它独立存在。
②独立主格结构一般有逗号与主句分开。
◆ 独立主格结构的句法功能:定语或状语。如:

Seen from above为过去分词短语作状语,与the old town之间是被动关系。此句为过去分词短语作状语。
(3) For example, it is the women who run Naxi society, and until recently, Naxi women inherited all property.例如,管理纳西族社会的是妇女,而且近来还是由纳西族的妇女继承全部财产。
◆ it is the women who run Naxi society.为强调句结构,被强调的是主语the women。
强调句的基本结构:It is \ was +被强调部分+ that\ who+其余部分。被强调的可以是主语、宾语和状语等,如果被强调的是人用that或who; 其它用that。如:
It is I who teach you English.
I was he that broke the window yesterday.
It was what he said just now that made me unhappy.
强调句型是高考常考的考点之一。如:
① I just wonder _______ that makes him so excited.
