一、总述
在说话或写文章时，我们有时候要突出或强调某个词、词组或从句，这时就要用强调结构。强调句型的表达法一般包括以下几种情况：
1. 当句子的主语、宾语、状语需要强调时，强调句型为：it is (was) + 被强调部分 + that (who) + 句中其他部分。
2. it is (was) not until…that 也为强调句的一种，意思是“直到⋯⋯才”。
3. do 在句中可用来强调谓动词，用于一般过去时或一般现在时。
4. 如果强调特殊疑问句，可用“特殊疑问词+ is (was) + it + that + 句子”结构。
二、重要考点
1. it is (was) + 被强调部分+ that (who) + 句中其他部分
强调结构为：It is (was)…that…。它可以用来强调句中的某些成分，如主语（从句）、宾语（从句）、状语（从句）等。如强调主语或宾语，则that 可用who （指人），whom 或which （指物）来代替；如强调的是状语，则不能用when 、where 等代替，只能用that 。注意，强调结构不能用来强调谓语动词和表语。例如：
It was my uncle that (who) sent me the parcel.
It is the article that (which) they discussed last week.
It was because he was too careless that he broke all the glasses.
It is in this room that I was born 30 years ago.
2. 谓语动词前用do、does、did 表示强调
在肯定句中，可以用do 强调谓语部分，可译为：“务必”、“一定”、“真的”、“确实”等。这时动词要用原形。例如：
He does like to eat noodles.
She did send me a postcard as I expected.
3. “特殊疑问词+ is (was) + it + that + 句子”结构该结构也起强调作用，表示“究竟在哪里”、“到底是谁”等。例如：
Where was it (that) you saw the man?
How is it (that) your answer differs from his?
