强调句的用法

（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）+ 其它部分。

 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。

 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 + 其它部分？

 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 … 。

（二）not … until … 句型的强调句

1、句型为：It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其它部分

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。

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。

省略句用法

为了使讲话和行文简洁，句中某些成分有时可省略。省略可分以下几种情况：

（一）简单句中的省略

1、省略主语：祈使句中主语通常省略。其它省略主语多限于少数现成的说法。

(I) Thank you for your help.（括号内为省略的词语，下同）
