语法填空—特殊句式

语法填空之特殊句式和固定搭配 专题一特殊句式 考点１. 强调句 强调句型的基本结构为：It is/was+被强调部分+that/who... 使用强调句型的几个注意事项： (1)被强调成分是主语，who/that之后的谓语动词应该在人称和数上与原句中的主语保持一致。 ?It is I who am right. 对的是我。 ? It is he who is wrong.错的是他。 ? It is the students who are lovely.可爱的是学生们。 (2)被强调成分即使是在句子中作时间状语、地点状语、原因状语等，也不能用when, where, because，而要用that。 ?It was in front of the bank that the lady was robbed.那位女士是在银行前面遭遇抢劫的。 ?It was because of the heavy rain that he came late.他是因为下大雨来晚的。 (3)被强调成分是作主语的代词时用主格，是作宾语的代词时用宾格。 ?It was he that helped me yesterday.昨天是他帮助了我。 ?It was me that he helped yesterday. 他昨天帮助的是我。 (4)被强调部分既包括人又包括物，用that不用who。 ?It was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.他们谈论的是他们记得的人和事。 注意：助动词do, does, did用在动词原形前，用来对谓语动词进行强调。 e.g. Do come here tomorrow. e.g. He does study hard. 【易混易错】 强调句型与主语从句、状语从句、定语从句的区别
