强调句的作用,顾名思义就是突出讲话者想要强调的部分,比如主语,宾语,状语等。做法通常是将需要进行强调的部分提到前面,再套以一定的句型。下面就以具体的例子进行阐释。
一、强调句句型
1. 陈述句的强调句型:It is/ was + 被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/ who(当强调主语且主语指人)+ 其他部分。
e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.
2. 一般疑问句的强调句型:同上,只是把is/ was提到it前面。
e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
3. 特殊疑问句的强调句型:被强调部分(通常是疑问代词或疑问副词)+ is/ was + it + that/ who + 其他部分?
e.g. When and where was it that you were born?
4. 强调句例句:针对I met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.句子进行强调。
强调主语:It was I that (who) met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.
强调宾语:It was Li Ming that I met at the railway station yesterday.
强调地点状语:It was at the railway station that I met Li Ming yesterday.
强调时间状语:It was yesterday that I met Li Ming at the railway station.
5. 注意:构成强调句的it本身没有词义;强调句中的连接词一般只用that, who,即使在强调时间状语和地点状语时也如此,that, who不可省略;强调句中的时态只用两种,一般现在时和一般过去时。原句谓语动词是一般过去时、过去完成时和过去进行时,用It was ... ,其余的时态用It is ... 。
要点提示:
1)当原句叙述的是现在或者将来发生的事情用"It is … that…"的句式
例:It is that man that is teaching our English.
就是那个人教我们英语。
当原句叙述的是过去发生的事情则用"It was … that… " 的句式。
例:It was my telephone number that Miss White happened to know.
怀特小姐碰巧知道的就是我的电话号码。
2)在强调句型中,一般用that引出句子的其他部分。如果被强调的部分是表示人时,可以用who代替that,其余都用that。
例: It was you who/that we were talking about.我们刚刚谈论的就是你。
3)在强调主语时,注意that/who后边的动词应和主语在人称和数上保持一致。
例:It is my parents who/that are singing in the next room.
就是我的父母正在隔壁房唱歌。
It is I who/that am going for a holiday with Mary.
是我打算和玛丽一起去度假的。
4)有时对判断究竟是强调句还是定语从句会有疑问,可以套用这个规则来判断:如果是强调句,去掉it is/was和that/who还是一个完整的句子,如果是定语从句,则不是。
看看这道题,应该选择哪个选项呢?
It ______ at the crossroads ______ he was killed in the accident the other day.
A. is; that B. was; that
C. is; where D. was; where
答案为B,套用以上的规则,去掉it is和that,原句变为at the crossroads he was killed in the accident the other day,也就是he was killed in the accident the other day at the crossroads,可判断出此句应为强调句型。
比较以下三个句子:
It is the mountain village where/at which I stayed last year.(定语从句)
It was a mountain village that I visited last year.(强调句)
This is the mountain village (which) I visited last year.(定语从句)
二、not … until … 句型的强调句
1. 句型为:It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分
e.g. 普通句:He didn't go to bed until/ till his wife came back.
强调句:It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
2. 注意:此句型只用until,不用till。但如果不是强调句型,till, until可通用;因为句型中It is/ was not ... 已经是否定句了,that后面的从句要用肯定句,切勿再用否定句了。
三、谓语动词的强调
1. It is/ was ... that ... 结构不能强调谓语,如果需要强调谓语时,用助动词do/ does或did。
e.g. Do sit down. 务必请坐。
He did write to you last week. 上周他确实给你写了信。
Do be careful when you cross the street. 过马路时,务必(千万)要小心啊!
2. 注意:此种强调只用do/ does和did,没有别的形式;过去时用did,后面的谓语动词用原形。
