He or his brothers were to blame.
Either Tim or his brothers have to shovel the snow.
Not only the students but also their teacher is enjoying the film.
Neither he nor they are mistaken.
6、it 的用法
(1)it用作引词(anticipatory)
·作形式主语,真实主语可为不定式,动名词,主语从句
e.g. It was his duty to attend to the matters.
It’s no use saying any more about what I think.
It seems that he is rich.
·作形式宾语,真实宾语可谓不定式,动名词,宾语从句
e.g. I find it easy enough to get on with Pam.
You must find it exciting working here.
I think it best that you should stay here.
(2)it用于强调结构
结构:It is (was)+被强调部分(主语、宾语或状语)+who(that)……
e.g. It was his best suit that John wore to the dance last night.
It was my two sisters who knew her best.(保持时态一致)
It was yesterday I first noticed it.
7、倒装语序
(1)完全倒装(complete inversion),即将主语和谓语完全颠倒过来
e.g. With the development of typewriter came the most advanced typewriter, the multi-printer, which produces high quality printing.(主语较长而谓语较短)
The hammer is missing and so are the nails.(由neither, nor, so引出的句子)
From the classroom came the loud voice of the person who was making a speech.(作为地点状语的介词短语置于句首)
(2)部分倒装(partial inversion),将助动词(包括情态助动词)移至主语之前
e.g. Only on special occasions can you wear this black dress.(句首为only+状语)
Not a single clue could the police find.(句首为否定词或带有否定意义的词语:never, rarely, scarcely, hardly, little, not until, no sooner…had, not only…but also, etc.)
Do what you will, you can’t change this situation.(某些让步状语从句)
Had it not been for the shortage of funds, the hotel could have been built.(省略了if的非真实条件句)
8、动词不定式
不定式不能在句中单独用作谓语,但可用作主语、表语、宾语、定语、状语、宾语补足语、主语补足语等。
e.g. To see is to believe.
The important thing is to save lives.
She likes to play with the child.
