错误判断强调句的两种情况

 

1. 将非强调句判为强调句

前面讲到强调时间状语时,通常要用it is…that…,而不用it is … when…,所以有的同学对于下题选择了A:

It was ten o’clock ______ he came back.

A. that                                          B. when

C. so                                            D. which

其实此题最佳答案为B,这不是一个强调句型。When引导的是一个时间状语从句,全句意为“当他回来时,时间是10点钟”。比较以下强调句型:

It was at ten o’clock that he came back. 他是10点钟回来的。

It was after ten o’clock that he came back. 他是在10点过后回来的。

It was before ten o’clock that he came back. 他是在10点前回来的。

再比较:(from www.hxen.net)

It is autumn when leaves fall. 当树叶落的时候就是秋天了。

It is in autumn that leaves fall. 树在秋天落叶。

另外,下面的句子也不是强调句型:

(1) It’s a long time ______ I met you last.

A. that                                            B. since

C. when                                         D. which

(2) It was more than a year now _____ he had seen her.

A. that                                            B. since

C. when                                          D. which

(3) "Was it here _____ you were away talking to a friend?" "Sure. But when I got back there, it was gone."

A. that                                            B. while

C. which                                         D. where          

以上三题均选B,即前面两句填since,其意为“自从”;第(3)填while,其意为“在…期间”。
