结构为:Is/Was it+被强调部分+that/who+其他成分?

3.强调句的特殊疑问句
结构为:特殊疑问词+is/was+it+that+其他成分?

4.强调句型还可以用"It might be...that..."和"It must have been...that..."表示推测。
It might be in the restaurant that you left your wallet.
你可能把钱包忘在了那个餐馆。
5.not...until...句型的强调句
结构为:It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其他部分。
He didn't go to bed until his wife came back.
他直到他妻子回来才睡觉。
强调句:It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
6.谓语动词的强调
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。
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!
7.几组易混句型比较:
(1)强调句与"It is/was+时间+when"从句:在后一种句型中it代指时间,when引导的是时间状语从句。注意两种句型中"时间"表达方式的不同。
It was at 8 o'clock that we got home.(强调句)
It was already 8 o'clock when we got home.(时间状语从句)
