接续

解释

分裂句用 It is/was ... that ... 来突出某一信息。从 John broke the window yesterday 出发:要强调人,就说 It was John that(或 who)broke the window;要强调时间,就说 It was yesterday that John broke the window. 指人用 who 或 that、指物用 that 或 which;be 动词按所需时态变化(现在用 is、过去用 was)。

例句

It was John that broke the window, not me.
打破窗户的是约翰,不是我。
It is here that we first met, ten years ago.
十年前,我们就是在这里第一次相遇的。

注意

不能用这种结构强调动词:不能说 It was broke that John did。要突出动作,改用 what 分裂句:What John did was break the window. it-分裂句突出的是名词、代词以及时间或地点短语。
