13、可以看出這類句子的結構是：it+動詞be+強調部分+who(m)或that+其他部分這類句子可稱為分裂句，這種結構稱為分裂結構。2.在強調主語時，可用who（間或用that）引導后面部分：It was Peter who lent us the money.是彼得借錢給我們。Was it you who (that) broke the window?打破窗子的是你嗎？若主語是物不是人，則需用that：But here its my word that counts.但在這里是我說了算。3.在強調賓語或介詞賓語時，若是人關系代詞時用whom,間或用that (a)，若是物則需用that (b)

Why is it thateveryone think Im narrow-minded?為什么大家都認為我很小氣？ 先行主語it 1.it可以用作先行詞，作為句子形式上的主語，而把真正的主語移到句子后面去。這可使句子變得更平穩(wěn)，不致主語太長，顯得頭重腳輕。這種it稱為先行主語。可移到句子后面去的主語最常見的是不定式。句
