It引导的几个易混淆的时间句型
众所周知,it的用法非常复杂,它是中学阶段的重点语法之一,且是高考考纲规定内容之一。它不但可以充当形式主语,而且可以用来改变句子结构,使句子的某一成分得到强调,引导强调句型。此外,它引导的几个时间句型更容易使学生混淆。下面,就这几个句型浅谈一二。孟子被称为什么
一、 It+be+时间+before-clau
这个句型中的时间一般为表示一段时间的词语(a long time,long years,weeks,a few days,veral months,many hours,minutes),若主句中的谓语动词用肯定式,意为“过多长时间才……”。若主句的谓语动词是否定式时,我们可以将其译为“没过多长时间就……”,主句的时态可以用过去时was或将来时will be。用was时,before从句的动词也用一般过去时;用will be时,before从句常常用一般现在时表示将来时。例如:
It was long before he learned tho boring poems by heart yesterday afternoon.
昨天下午他过了好久才背会那些枯燥的诗歌。
It was not long before the police arrived at the spot where the accident happened.
警察没过多久就到达了事故发生的现场。
It will be weeks before they finish doing their homework.
要过好几周他们才能完成家庭作业。
It will not be weeks before they understand each other.
带春字的诗句他们要不了几周就会互相了解的。

这个句型表示从since-clau谓语动作发生以后到现在或过去所经过的一段时间,意为“自从……以来已经多久了”,主句多用一般现在时,从句用一般过去时。如果表示过去的情况,主句用一般过去时,从句用过去完成时,或主句用过去完成时,从句用一般过去时。
注意:since引导时间状语从句时,从句若使用短暂性(终止性)动词,则表示该时间是主
句时间段的终点(时间从现在算起);从句若使用延续性动词,则表示该动作状态的结束(时间从过去算起)。
It is three years since they got married.他们结婚已经三年了。(从现在算起)
It is three years since they were married.他们离婚已经三年了。(从过去算起)热血儿女
It has been ten months since his mother pasd away.他的妈妈去世已经十个月了。
It was two weeks since David had been a worker.大卫不当工人已经两周了。
三、 It+be+时间+when-clau
这个句型,表示时间的词前面没有介词(时间一般为具体时间)。主句中的谓语动词和从句中的谓语动词在时态上一般是一致的,若主句是will be,when从句用一般现在时表示将来时。例如:
It was already late afternoon when we finished our work.
It will be late night when they arrive at the railway station near their hous.
四、 It+be+时间+that-clau
这是个强调句型。例如:
广东阳江市It was five weeks ago that he returned his motherland.
原来的句子:He returned his motherland five weeks ago.
It was at six o’clock that she practid playing the piano in the morning.提高教学质量的措施
小羊过河的故事
原来的句子:She practid playing the piano at six o’clock in the morning.
五、 It+be+time+that-clau
这个句型是虚拟语气结构,无论主句用的是is或was,that从句都必须用动词的过去式或should+动词原形,should不可省略。time之前有时可加上high/about以加强语气。
It is high time that he went to school with his son.
It is time(that) we made people’s life a little easy.
=It is time that we should make people’s life a little easy.
六、 It+be+the first/cond/...last+time+that-clau
贺齐
此句型表示截止到说话时某人的一种经历,关键是time前有序数词,主句谓语是is时,从句用现在完成时,若主句用was,则从句须用相应的过去完成时。例如:
It is the first time that I have been in the Great Wall in China.
It was the third time that he had paid a friendly visit to Australia.
