It的用法及典型句型归纳一、人称代词it的最基本用法是作代词,主要指刚提到的事物,想法,以避免重复;也可以指性别不明或性别被认为是不重要的人或动物;未指明但谈话双方都明白的事情或情况。
①They watched the train until it disappeared in the distance.②Is this your dog?No, it isn’t.③I hate it when people talk with a full mouth..二、.非人称代词.it有时并不指具体的东西而泛指天气、时间、日期、距离、价值、度量、温度、环境等:It is a lovely day, isn’t it? // It was nearly midnight when she came back.It is April First today. // It is some 3000 kilometers from A to B.It is three dollars. // Today it is 30 degrees centigrade.三、作形式主语,替代主语从句,动词不定式,或动名词短语1.作形式主语替代主语从句⑴It is clear ( obvious,true,possible,certain....) that"┅清楚的(显然的,真的,可能的,肯定的...)"⑵It is important ( necessary,right,strange,natural...) that + (should ) do (虚拟语气)┅是重要的(必要的,对的,奇怪的,自然的┅)⑶It is said (reported/ learned/believed/thought/known/told/hoped.....) that= sb / sth is said (reported/ believed /thought…) to do( to be doing/ to have done) sth"据说(据报道,据悉...)"。
⑷It is suggested ( advised/ ordered / demanded/ insisted/ commanded... ) that +(should ) do"据建议;有命令..⑸It is a pity ( a shame /an honour/a good thing/a fact,/a surprise/... ) thatthat后的从句一般用虚拟语气(should + 动词原形),should可省去.表示出乎意料,常译为"竟然"。
没有这种意义时,则不用虚拟语气。
小练一下:It is very clear that he’s round and tall like a tree.=It is important that we (learn) English well.It is necessary that he (remember) these words.It is said that he has come to Beijing.=It is reported that another earth satellite has been put into orbit.=It is suggested that the meeting ( put off).It was ordered that we (arrive) there in two hours.It is a pity that such a thing ( happen) in your class.It is a pity that he (be) ill.2.作形式主语替代不定式. ⑴It is kind ( of sb. ) to do sth.= sb be kind to do sth.一般都是表示人的特性的形容词。
如:bad /brave /careless/ clever /cruel / foolish / good (好心的)/ honest/ kind / lazy / modest/ naughty/ nice(有教养的)/polite/ rude / silly / stupid / wise ,等。
Eg. It is kind of you to give me a hand. =⑵It is necessary ( for sb. ) to do sth. .不定式的逻辑主语是由for引起。
常见的形容词有:Important/ necessary/ natural/ easy / safe / common / normal / hard / difficult / dangerous/ unusual/ rare / impossible / pleasantEg. It is important for her to come to the party.= It is important that she to the party.⑶It takes sb. ... to do sth. 常译为"做...要花费某人..."。

如:enjoy/like/love/dislike/hate/depend on/ be fond of /see to后句型:I like (enjoy, hate…) it when….I would appreciate it if……see to(depend on/depend on/be fond of…) it thatEg I like ___ in the autumn when the weather is clear and bright.A. thisB. thatC. itD. one译:如果你能帮我,我将不胜感激I can’t help if he is always late.Please see to that you bring enough money when you go out.五、it/one/ that 三者均可用作代词,指代前面提到的名词It指代同名同物,表示特指= the+名词;one与that则指代同名异物。
One只能替代可数名词单数,表泛指= a/ an+名词;ones代替可数名词复数,泛指。
That可替代可数或不可数名词,表示特指=the+名词,多与of连用Those代替可数名词复数= the ones,多与of连用练:I have lost my umbrella; I am looking for .I haven’t a pencil.
