某天,在X镇发生了一起谋杀案,教授Robert遇害,大家议论纷纷。杰克和往常一样,下班后回到家,卸下一身疲惫却从妻子口中听到了一个让他目瞪口呆的消息!

妻子在他耳边说:“It was I that killed Robert”.

听到这句话,杰克差点晕厥过去,但也不得不相信了,因为妻子还特地用了强调句还点名是自己杀害了教授。

一用强调句,这句话的重点也就马上凸显出来了,直击要害,今天就来给大家送上一个法宝,给你的句子施上强调的魔法。

魔力:it is/was…that…

有了这个魔力,句子就可以分分钟变强调句!夹在is/was和that之间的成分是需要强调的部分。所以,一个句子里的任何成分都是可以用来强调的,It’s up to you. 你想强调哪个就哪个!

不信CC猫来给你变:

原句:I washed clothes in the bathroom yesterday.

1. 强调主语“我”:It was I that (who) washed the clothes in the bathroom yesterday.

2. 强调宾语“衣服”:It was clothes that I washed in the bathroom yesterday.

3. 强调地点状语“在厨房”:It was in the bathroom that I washed clothes yesterday.

4. 强调时间状语“昨天”:It was yesterday that I washed clothes in the bathroom.

大家看到了木有,原句里的除了washed这个谓语没有被强调外,其他成分都可以被强调,而且灰常简单,因为that之后的部分和遵循原句的语序。用一个公式就是这样滴:It was+强调的部分+that+原句去掉强调部分按顺序呈现

不过要注意了:

1. 强调“人”的时候,可用that也可用who

2. 现在时请用is,过去时请用was,前后时态保持一致

同样,上面的陈述句也可变为一般疑问句、特殊疑问句。

1.Was it you that (whom) washed the clothes in the bathroom yesterday? (一般疑问句)

Who was it that washed the clothes in the bathroom yesterday? (特殊疑问句)

2.Was it clothes that you washed in the bathroom yesterday? (一般疑问句)

What was it that you washed in the bathroom yesterday? (特殊疑问句)

下面两句大家自己来练练手吧!参考答案见文章末尾。

那么某天部落虎就来找CC猫了,还造了个句的,来秀一下自己的学习完强调句的成果。

It is strange that he didn’t come yesterday.

CC猫连连摇头:“部落虎你这个强调句学得不扎实啊!”

好,那么CC猫就来给大家支一招,揭露这个句子真实的面目。

要判断一个句子是否为强调句,只要把这个句子中的it is/was…that…去掉,看看是否还是完整的句子。那这句话就变成了Strange he didn’t come yesterday. 显然不是个完整的句子嘛。

刚才的那四个句子里,所有成分都被强调了,就是谓语没被强调,谓语就这么被冷落了。不急,它有自己的强调独家秘方。

用助动词do/does, did来强调

例如:

Sit down.坐下。

Do sit down.给我坐下!

He handed in his homework.他交了作业。

He did hand in his homework.他确实交了作业。

大家请根据人称、时态自行切换do的各种形式,而且do后面要跟谓语动词的原形哦!

好了,今天的强调句型就学到这。各位,See you next lesson! 我们下节课再见~
