It's time…用法归纳 It's time…句型是中学英语里使用频率较高的句型，其意为“该是……的时候了”。用法灵活多变，也是大家以掌握的句型。现就其有关句式归纳如下： ⑴ It's time for + n.“该是（干）……的时候了。”例： Boys and girl, It's time for class. 同学们，该上课了。 ⑵ It's time + (for sb.) to do sth. .表示“该是（某人）干……的时候了。”例： It's time for you to clean the classroom. 该是你打扫教室的时候了。 It's time to go to school. 该去上学了。 ⑶ It's time + that clause 时，that可省略，time可由high,about修饰，从句中的谓语动词有两种形式，或者用动词的过去式(be用were)；或者用shoud + 动词原形（should不能省略)。此句型为虚拟语气句型，表示“现在某人该做某事了”。含有该事早该去做而未做，现在去做似乎都为时已晚的意思。例： It's time （that）we went to bed. 我们该去睡觉了。 It's high time that the article were published. 发表这篇文章是适时的。 It's time you should do cleaning. 你该去打扫卫生了。 4) It's + the+序数词+ time+ that clause.也表示某人第几次做某事。例： It is my first time that I've even written letters. 这是我第一次用写信。

Section_—it的用法(1) 语法图解 探究发现 ①It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden. ②Your mother tells me that you started smoking some time ago and now you are finding it difficult to give it up. ③It is never too late to mend. ④It is no use talking to them. ⑤It is said that he stole the money. ⑥I think it difficult to learn English well. ⑦We make it clear that speaking to the teacher in that way is not polite. ⑧I don't like it when people talk with the mouth full of food.

教学过程 一、复习预习 1、教师出示上节课预留的练习题，根据学生实际情况进行讲解分析； 2、引导学生复习上节内容； 3、并引入本节课程内容。 二、知识讲解 考点/易错点1 it基本用法 ①it用作代词，代替前面提到过的人或事。如： —Is the baby a boy or a girl? —It’s a boy. (it指上文提到的baby) The doctor advised Vera strongly that she should take a holiday, but it didn’t help. (it指上文叙述的事)
注意： it, that, one都可以用来代替前面提到的人或事，但这三个代词之间有不同之处： it用来代替前面提到的可数名词，所指的是事物本身；that用来代替不可数名词，指的是前面提到的名词中的同一类事物；one则用来代替前面出现过的可数名词，并且是指这类事物中的一个。如： I can’t find my pen anywhere. I must have lost it. (it指前面的pen本身) Life today is much better than that in the old days. (that指代前面提到的与life同类的事物) I can’t find my pen. I’m going to buy one. (one指前面的pen这类事物中的一个) ②it可用来指天气、时间、距离、自然环境等。如： It was very cold in Beijing in winter. （it指天气） It was too late and I had to leave for home. （it指时间） What a long way it is from Beijing to London! （it指距离） It was quiet in the school at night. （it指自然环境） ③it可用来指人，特别是不知道对方的性别时。如： Whose baby is it? It’s very lovely. 考点/易错点2 It 用作形式主语 当不定式（短语）、动名词（短语）或从句在某个句子中作主语时，为保持句子结构前后平衡，避免头重脚轻，因此常用it作形式主语置于句首，而将真正的主语放在句尾。此时it 只起先行引导作用，本身无词义。 e.g. It is wrong to tell a lie. (说谎是错误的。) 〔It为to tell a lie的形式主语〕
现在完成时态中的since 与for 1. 实例： We have studied English for more than 2 years. 我们学英语已有两年多时间了。 She has been ill since last Sunday. 她从上周星期天一直病到现在。 2. 用法说明： (1) 介词for 短语表示一个时间段，指某个动作或情况到现在为止已持续了多久，提问时用how long；since 作为介词，接一个时间名词，作为连词，引导一个时间状语从句(从句动词一般是短暂性动词)，since 表示“自…以来”，指某个动作或情况从过去某一点时间一直持续到现在，因此，与for 或since 引出的时间状语连用的句子(或主语)谓语动词必须是持续性的(如上面两句中的动词study 和be) (2) 英语中有些动词的意义不能持续，表示的是一瞬间就结束的动作，这些动词被称为非持续性动词或短暂性动词，常见的如come, leave, go, lose, see, begin, start, arrive, bec ome, die, buy, borrow, close, join, reach, fall, get up 等。这类动词可以用于完成时态，但在肯定句中不能与表示动作延续的时间状语for 或since 短语连用。如：正：He has come back. 他已回来。 误：He has come back for three days. 若要表示“他回来已三天了”这样的意思，可以将动词改为延续性动词，或改变时间状语，或改用别的句型等，如译为： He has been back for three days. (改变谓语动词) He has been back since three days ago. (改变谓语动词) He came back three days ago. (改变时间状语及动词时态) It’s three days since he came back. (改变句型) (3) 非持续性动词用于完成时态，在肯定句中不能与for 或since引出的短语(或句子)连用，但在否定句中是可以的，因为一个非延续性动词一旦被否定即成为状态，而状态总是可以延续的。如：(https://www.doczj.com/doc/8f3427925.html,) I haven’t seen him for a long time. 我很久没见到他了。 He hasn’t come here for some time. 他有段时间没来了。 I haven’t heard from her since she left. 自他离开以后，我一直没收到她的来信。

2019-2020年高中英语人教版选修六教学案：Unit 4 Section ⅢGrammar— it的用法（2）(含答案) 语法图解 探究发现 ①There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer and that it is human activity that has caused this global warming rather than a random but natural phenomenon. ②It was a scientist called Charles Keeling, who made accurate measurements of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997. ③They also agree that it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that has resulted in this increase in carbon dioxide. ④It was during the 20th century that the temperature of the earth went up about one degree Fahrenheit. [我的发现] 这些句子都是强调句，句中的黑体词部分标出了句中的强调句结构，即：it_is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who ...句首词用“it”；be动词总是用单数形式，即is或was。连接词一般用that，当强调部分是人时，强调连接词也可用who。 一、强调句的基本用法 强调句就是把句中要强调的部分(通常是主语、宾语、状语或状语从句)放在It is/was和that/who之间，原句中剩余部分放在that/who之后。 1．强调句的陈述句式 “It is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who＋其他剩余部分．” The 2022 Winter Olympic Games will take place in Beijing and Zhangjiakou.
高考英语语法知识之It 的用法总结 1．It is + 被强调部分+ that ... 该句型是强调句型。将被强调的部分放在前面，其它部分置于that之后。被强调部分可以是主语，宾语，状语。强调的主语如果是人，that可以由who换用。 如果把这种句型结构划掉后，应该是一个完整无缺的句子。这也是判断强调句型与其它从句的方法。 It was they that (who) cleaned the classroom yesterday. It was in the street that I met her father. 2．It was not until + 被强调部分+ that ... 该句型也是强调句型。主要用于强凋时间状语，译成汉语＂直到．．．才．．．＂，可以说是not ... until ... 的强调形式。 It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star. = Not until she took off her dark glasses did I realize she was a famous film star. = I didn’t realize she was a famous film star until she took off her dark glasses. 3．It is clear ( obvious, true, possible,certain....) that ..... 该句型中it 是形式主语，真正的主语是that 引导的主语从句，常译为＂清楚（显然，真的，肯定．．．）＂是主语从句最常见的一种结构。 It is very clear that he’s round and tall like a tree.= That he’s round and tall like a tree is very clear. 4. It is important ( necessary, right, strange, natural...) that ... 由于主句中的形容词不同，that 后的从句中要用虚拟语气（should + 动词原形），should 可以省去。 It is important that we (should) learn English well. It is necessary that he (should) remember these words. 5. It is said (reported, learned....) that ... 该句型中的it 仍是形式主语，真正主语是that 引导的主语从句。该结构常译为＂据说（据报道，据悉．．．）＂。It is said that he has come to Beijing. 6. It is suggested ( ordered ... ) that ... 主句中的过去分词是表示请求，建议，命令等词时，that后的从句要用虚拟语气（should + 动词原形），should 可以省。常译为＂据建议；有命令．． It is suggested that the meeting ( should ) be put off. It was ordered that we ( should ) arrive there in two hours. 7. It is a pity ( a shame ... ) that ... 该句型中，that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。 It is a pity that such a thing ( should ) happen in your class. It is a pity that he is ill. 8. It is time ( about time ,high time ) that ... 该句型中that 后的从句应该用虚拟语气，值得注意的是①常用过去时态表示虚拟．②有时也用should + 动词原形，should 不能省。常译为＂是（正是）．．．的时侯．．．＂。 It is time that children should go to bed. = It is time that children went to bed. 9. It is the first ( second ... ) time that ... 该句型中的that 从句不用虚拟语气，而用完成时态。至于用什么完成时态，由主句的谓语动词的时态决定。如果是一般现在时，后面从句用现在完成时态；如果是一般过去时，后面从句则用过去完成时态。该结构中that 可以省去；it有时用this / that 替换．常译为＂这是某人第几次做某事了＂。 It is the first time I have been here. = This is the first time I have been here. 10 It is the +形容词最高级+ 名词+ that + ….. 该句型中的that 从句不用虚拟语气，而用完成时态。至于用什么完成时态，由主句的谓语动词的时态决定。如果是一般现在时，后面从句用现在完成时态；如果是一般过去时，后面从句则用过去完成时态。该结构中that 可以省去；it有时用this / that 替换．常译为＂这是某人做过的最…的事情＂。 This is the best film that I have ever seen .
