作形式主語和形式賓語的用法詳解

1、新希望英語語法精講-“It”作形式主語和形式賓語“It”作形式主語和形式賓語的用法詳解 It作形式主語和形式賓語用法，是英語學習的主要語法項目之一。無論是單項選擇，還是完行填空，it用法始終是反復考查的重、熱點之一?，F(xiàn)將it在特殊句型中作形式主語和形式賓語用法，進行如下歸納分析，以供學習參考。 一、 It 用作形式主語 當不定式（短語）、動名詞（短語）或從句在某個句子中作主語時，為保持句子結(jié)構(gòu)前后平衡，避免頭重腳輕，因此常用it作形式主語置于句首，而將真正的主語放在句尾。此時it只起先行引導作用，本身無詞義。 e.g. It is wrong to tell a lie. (說謊是錯誤的。)

2、It為to tell a lie的形式主語 It is no use arguing about it. (爭吵是沒用的。) It為arguing about it的形式主語 It is uncertain who will come. (誰要來還不確定。) It為who will come的形式主語 It 作形式主語的常見句型： It + be + 形容詞 + to do sth. / doing / that . e.g. It is very important to learn a foreign language. (學一門外語非常重要。) It is useless crying

3、over the spilt milk. (覆水難收。) It was really surprising that she married a man like that.(她嫁給那樣的男士真讓人驚訝。) It + be +名詞詞組 + doing / that . e.g. It is no good telling lies. (撒謊沒好處。) It is a pity that you didnt go to see the film yesterday. (你昨天沒看成那部電影真遺憾。) It is a truth that there would be no new China w

4、ithout the Communist Party. (沒有共產(chǎn)黨就沒有新中國，這是毋庸質(zhì)疑的。) It + be + 過去分詞 + that . 該句型常見動詞有：say, hope, think, suppose, expect, report, know, believe, decide, etc. e.g. It is said that they have invented a new type of computer. (據(jù)說他們發(fā)明了一種新型電腦。) It is believed that China will become one of the strongest count

5、ries in the world. (大家都相信中國將會步入世界強國之列。) It was reported that more than 170 thousand people died in the 2004 tsunami. (據(jù)報道，至少有十七萬人在2004年那場海嘯中喪生。) It + seems / appears / happens等不及物動詞 + that . e.g. It seems that he enjoys pop songs very much.(似乎他非常喜歡流行歌曲。) It appears that Tom might change his mind. (看

6、來湯姆可能會改變主意。) 若句子是疑問形式，就只能用it作形式主語。 e.g. Does it matter much that they wont come tomorrow? (他們明天不來很重要嗎？) Is it true that he will go abroad next week? (他下周出國是真的嗎？) It + takes + (sb.) + some time + to do sth. 這是一個表示“（某人）花多少時間干某事”的句型，其中it是形式主語，代替后面的不定式（to do sth.），句型中的sb.也可以省略。 e.g. It took me some time

7、 to read the reading materials.(我花了一些時間才讀完那段閱讀材料。)It took him fourteen hours to go to New Zealand from Shanghai by plane.(從上海乘飛機去新西蘭花了他14小時。)How long does it take you to go to Beijing from Qingdao by train? (從青島坐火車到北京一般要花多久時間？)I am not sure, but I think it takes at least nine hours to get there. (我不

8、能肯定，但估計至少要九個鐘頭才能到那兒。) 二、It 用作形式賓語 當不定式（短語）、動名詞（短語）或從句在某個句子中作賓語時，為保持句子結(jié)構(gòu)平衡，避免句式結(jié)構(gòu)的混亂，常用it作形式賓語，而將真正的賓語放在句尾。此時it仍只起先行引導作用，本身無詞義。 下列四種情況須用it 作形式賓語： 當不定式（短語）、動名詞（短語）或從句在復合賓語結(jié)構(gòu)中作某些動詞的賓語時（如think, make, find, consider, feel, suppose等）；e.g. They found it pleasant that they worked with us Chinese.（他們發(fā)現(xiàn)與我們中國人

9、一起工作很愉快。） I dont feel it difficult to understand the Special English. （我覺得理解英語特別節(jié)目并不難。） He makes it a rule never to borrow money. （他立志決不向別人借錢。） I think it no need talking about it with them. （我認為沒必要跟他們談。） 某些表示“喜、怒、哀、樂”的動詞，如like, enjoy, love, hate等，往往不能直接接賓語從句； e.g. I dont like it that hes so lazy. （

10、我不喜歡他那么懶惰。） I hate it when my mother asks me to eat eggs. （我討厭母親要我吃雞蛋。） that引導的賓語從句不能直接作介詞的賓語； e.g. You may depend on it that we shall always help you. （盡管放心，我們會隨時幫你的。） Would you see to it that she gets home early? （你負責保證她早到家，好嗎？） He insisted on it that he was innocent. （他堅持說自己是無辜的。） 由及物動詞與介詞組成的固定搭配

11、中，賓語從句若作該動詞的賓語時，須借用it。 e.g. I leave it to your own judgement whether you should do it. （我讓你自己判斷這事是否該做。） We owe it to you that there wasnt a serious accident. （多虧了你才沒有發(fā)生嚴重事故。）練習一1.

18、以引導強調(diào)句，使語氣得以加強。此外，it在句中能作引導詞，充當句子中的形式上的成分，如形式主語、形式賓語等。 it作形式主語：it作形式主語時沒有具體的意義，而只是幫助把真正的主語移到句子后部去，使句子顯得平穩(wěn)一些。it作形式主語時，可以代替三種形式：不定式、動名詞和主語從句。1. it代替不定式短語 常用于下列句型中：It + be +形容詞 + (for/of sb.) to do sth.It + be + 名詞 + to do sth.It takes sb. some time to do sth. 干花了某人時間Its up to sb. to do sth. 干是某人的職責或義務(wù)

19、如：It is everyones duty to obey the law.遵守法律是每個人的義務(wù)。（ it作形式主語, 代替不定式短語to obey the law）It is difficult for a foreigner to learn Chinese.對于一個外國人來說，學習漢語是困難的。（ it作形式主語, 代替不定式短語to learn Chinese）It is not right to use these places as rubbish dumps.把這些地方用來倒垃圾是不對的。（it作形式主語, 代替不定式短語to use these places as rubb

21、 to tell me how to do my job.我怎樣干我的工作不用你來多嘴。（ it作形式主語, 代替不定式短語to tell me how to do my job） It be + 形容詞+ for sb. to do sth.與It be + 形容詞+of sb. to do sth.：如果句型中的形容詞描述的是sb.的品質(zhì)、品格，在邏輯上可以作sb.的表語，則sb.前應(yīng)用介詞of，否則就用for。如：Its necessary for us to use a short-wave radio to pick up the programmes.我們用一臺短波收音機收聽這些節(jié)

22、目是必要的。Its important for us to learn English well.學好英語對我們來說是重要的。Its kind of you to help me.感謝你對我的幫助。（= You are kind to help me. ）It was foolish of him to give up the job.他放棄那工作是愚蠢的（= He was foolish to give up the job.） it代替動名詞短語：動名詞作主語用后置形式的情況遠不及不定式那么普遍，常限于no good, no use, useless, waste等詞的后面。 It is

24、t it） it代替主語從句：這個主語從句可以用連詞that引導，也可以用連接代詞或連接副詞引導。如：It was clear that they had no desire for peace.很清楚他們沒有和平的誠意。（ it作形式主語,代替主語從句that they had no desire for peace）It is doubtful whether she will be able to come.她能否來還很難說。（ it作形式主語,代替主語從句whether she will be able to come）It was clear enough what she mean

25、t.她的意思是夠清楚的。（ it作形式主語,代替主語從句what she meant）It hasnt been made clear when the new road is to be opened to traffic.還沒明確宣布新路什么時候通車。（ it作形式主語,代替主語從句when the new road is to be opened to traffic）It is a mystery to me how it all happened.這都是怎么發(fā)生的對于我來說還是一個謎。（ it作形式主語,代替主語從句how it all happened）用it作形式主語，把真正的主

30、 knew how to solve that problem.我忽然想起我知道怎樣解決那個問題。 It + be + 過去分詞（如：said/ reported/ announced/ decided/ expected/ hoped/ known/ believed）that如：It is hoped that the number of deer will greatly increase very soon.(相當于：People hope that the number of deer will greatly increase very soon)人們希望鹿的數(shù)目將會很快增加。It

34、從句 有賓語補足語具備了這兩個條件，形式賓語it一定要用。1. it代替不定式短語think/ find/ feel/ consider/ make/ regard+ it +形容詞/名詞 + 不定式短語如：I find it pleasant to work with him.(it 作形式賓語，代替不定式短語to work with him)我覺得和他一起工作很愉快。They felt it difficult to finish the work in such a short time.（ it 作形式賓語，代替不定式短語to finish the work in such a sho
