如:It’s too late to go there now. 现在去那儿已经太迟了。

2. 用于某些句型○1.It’s time for sth. 该做某事了。
It’s time to do sth. 该做某事的时候了。
It’s time for sb to do sth. 某人该干某事了。
○2.It’s (about / high) time + that-从句. 某人该做某事了。
(从句谓语用过去式,有时也用“should+动词原形”)○3.It’s first (second) time + that-从句. 某人第几次干某事。
(从句谓语用现在完成时)○4.it的重要句型1.强调句① It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who ... 该句型是强调句型。
将被强调的部分放在前面,其它部分置于that之后,被强调部分可以是主语,宾语,表语或状语,强调的主语如果是人,that可以由who换用。
如果把这种句型结构划掉后,应该是一个完整无缺的句子;这也是判断强调句型与其它从句的方法。
It was about 600 years ago that the first clock with a face and an hour hand was made.It was they that (who ) cleaned the classroom yesterday.It was in the street that I met her father.It was yesterday that I met her in the street.It is you that /who are wrong.I think it was Jack said this.(其中省略了who 或that)What is it you want me to do?(it 后省略了that)②It is not until + 被强调部分 + that ... 该句型也是强调句型。
主要用于强凋时间状语,译成汉语"直到...才...",可以说是 not ... until ... 的强调形式。
It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star. = Not until she took off her dark glasses did I realize she was a famous film star. = I didn’t realize she was a famous film star until she took off her dark glasses.2. 用于指时间的专用句型中:It’s + 时间段 + since-从句. 自从……有一段时间了。
It’s + 时间段 + before-从句. 过多长的时间才……It + is/ has been ( wa s/ had been) + time + since…(现在/完成since-一般过去时) It is three years since she began to settle down in New York.(现在开始)It is ( has been ) 5 years since his father died.It is years since I enjoyed myself so much.It is .... since ...。
该句型主要用作处理瞬间动词的完成时,又要和表示一段时间的时间状语连用的问题,主句中是时间作表语,其时态是现在时或完成时,since 引导的从句通常是一般过去时态,而且是瞬间动词。
如果主句是一般过去时,从句则用过去完成时。
It was 3 years since they had got married.(过去开始)若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是持续性动词或表示状态的动词的过去时,则从句表示的时间是“从那个持续动作或状态结束时算起”。
如:It is already three years since he was a teacher.他不当教师已经三年了。
It is half a month since he was a League member. 他退团半个月了。
It’s been quite some time since I was in London. 我离开伦敦已很长时间了。
比较:He has written to me frequently since I was ill. 自从我病愈以来,他经常给我写信。
(从句谓语为状态动词)He has written to me frequently since I fell ill.自从我生病以来,他就经常给我写信。
(从句谓语为终止性动词)3. It + is/ will be + time + before…(过去/将来before-过去/一般现在时)It won’t be long before we take the final examination.It will be two weeks before we take the final examination.It was 3 days before he went to Beijing.It will be not long before he finishes his job.It be ... before ... 该句型主句中的 it 指时间,主句中的时态常是一般过去时或一般将来时两种时态.主句中的表语多是long, not long , 3 days , 2 weeks 等表示时间段的词或短语,常译为"...之后..."。
4.It is ... when ...。
该句型中的 when 引导的是一个时间状语从句,主句中的 it 指时间,表语由具体的时间充当,常译为"当...的时候,是..."It was 5 o’clock when he came here.5. It doesn’t matter whether ( if ) ... 该句型中whether(if) 引导的从句是真正主语,该句型常译为"不论(是否)...没关系...。
It doesn’t matter if they are old.6. It looks ( seems ) as if ... 该句型中it无意义, as if 引导一个状语从句。
常译为,"看起来好象..."如果与事实不相符合,则用虚拟语气。

(没有生病)It seemed as if he were dying.It looks as if it hasn't been washed following the instructions.7.固定句型1. make it(1)在口语当中相当于succeed,表示:成功、做到、说定、赶上、及时到达例It's hard to make it to the top in show business.(2)在口语中相当于fix the date for,表示“约定好时间”例—Shall we meet next week?—OK.
