(1)强调句用于一般疑问句:Is/Was+被强调部分+that+其他部分。 (2)强调句用于特殊疑问句:疑问词(被强调部分)+is/was+ it+ that+其他部分?
(3)在强调原因状语从句时,只能强调由because所引导的从句
例:It was because he was ill that he didn't come to school yesterday. (4)在强调not...until结构时必须把not与until一起放到被强调的位置上 例 It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was my brother.
(5)如何判断是否是强调句
可把 It,is / was和that 去掉,剩余部分在不增减任何词的情况下还是一个完整的句子,那么这种句子是强调句。
It was in the street that I met her father. →In the street I met her father. It was because she was ill that they didn’t ask her to do the job. →Because she was ill, they didn’t ask her to do the job.
