it用作形式主语特殊句式小归纳

 

it用作形式主语有不少非常有用的句式,比如以下一些就值得注意:

1. 用于it seems (appears) that…句式。如:

It seems that he knows everything. 他好像什么都知道。

It appears that we may be mistaken. 看来我们可能弄错了。

但是,英语一般不说it looks that…,可改用it looks as if…。如:

It looks as if we’ll be late. 我们似乎要迟到了。

2. 用于it happens (occurs) that…句式。如:

It happened that I was standing next to him when he collapsed. 他倒下的时候我恰巧站在他旁边。

It didn’t occur to him that she would refuse his invitation. 他没有想到她会拒绝他的邀请。

3. 用于it follows that…句式。如:

He is wrong, but it does not follow thatyou are right. 他错了,但并不能由此推断你是对的。

She’s not in the office but it doesn’t necessarily follow that she’s ill. 她不在办公室, 并不见得就是病了。
