与汉语习惯不同,英语习惯将较重要的信息放在句子后半段,为避免头重脚轻,就产生了一个逻辑主语it,同时也就产生了一种新的的语法现象——形式主语。今天小编整理了一些由名词性从句作真正主语的情况,一起来看一下吧。

It +动词+从句

seem,appear,happen,look,matter,make,strike,occur

It appeared that he had a happy childhood.

看来他有一段幸福的童年。

It made us very happy that she was saved.

她能化险为夷令我们大家很高兴。

It is +形容词+从句

true,strange,necessary,important,certain,wonderful,possible,likely,probable

It is certain that free medical care will be given to most people in our city. 我们城市的多数人将享受免费医疗,这是一定的。

It is obvious that he has been treated.

很明显他已经被款待了。

It is +名词+从句

fact,surprise,pity,honor,common knowledge

It is common knowledge that the moon cannot give out light. 月亮不会发光,这是常识。

It is a surprise that you gave such an answer to the question. 你对这个问题作了这样的回答,令人吃惊。

It+be+分词+从句

said,reported,believed,known,decided,thought,expected,announced

It is said that Jack has been to Europe.

据说Jack去过欧洲。

It was reported that a new park will be built.

据报道将要建造一个新的公园。

需要注意的是,作为形式主语的it并无实际意义,只是为了满足语法上的需要,避免句子头重脚轻,它代替的是句子的逻辑主语,而真正主语由从句或不定式充当。形式主语一直都是高频考点,还请大家多多练习。
