“It”的用法

1.代词it

（1）指除人以外的一切生物和事物。如：

I knew at once that it was a gift from Father.

The more carbon the steel contains, the harder it is.

（2）在某种情况下代词it也可以指人。这时可把it看作指示代词。如：

Is it your brother?

I didn't know it was you.

"Oh? who was it?" Mr.Black asked.

（3）it用来表示自然现象、时间、距离等。如：

It is nine sharp now.

It is very hot today.

2.it 作形式主语

（1）做不定式的形式主语

（2） that…句的形式主语

3.it作形式宾语

如果一个带有宾语补足语的动词不定式做宾语或一个宾语从句太长，可以用it作该不定式或宾语从句的先行词——形式宾语。如：

She thinks it easy to understand a letter written in English.

4.用于强调结构中的it

这种结构的句型是：It + is（was） + 被强调的部分 + that（或who）+ 其他部分。如：
