当不定式、动名词、从句等用作宾语且其后跟有宾语补足语时,就应在宾语补足语前使用形式宾语,而将真正的宾语移至句末:
We found it difficult to persuade her. 我们发现很难说服她。
He makes it a rule to get up before dawn. 他习惯于天亮前起床。
I think it very strange that he goes out walking almost every night. 我认为他几乎每晚都出去散步是很奇怪的。
【特别提醒】注意it用作形式宾语的三类特殊句式:
1. 动词+it+if / when从句
当enjoy, like, dislike, love, hate, prefer, appreciate等动词后需要接一个if或when引导的从句时,此时必须要先在动词后接it作形式宾语。如:
She won’t like it if you arrive late. 她不喜欢你迟到。
He hates it when people use his bike. 他讨厌别人用他的自行车。
I’d prefer it if I didn’t have to do so much work. 要是我不必做那么多工作,那就太好了。
I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it. 如果你能帮助我做这事,我会十分感激。
2. 动词+介词+it+that从句
能用于此句型的主要有三个动词,即depend on, answer for, see to。如:
You may depend on it that he will turn up in time. 你可以相信他会及时赶到的。
I can’t answer for it that the boy is honest. 我不能保证这个男孩是诚实的。
I’ll see to it that all these letters will be sent to the post before twelve. 我将注意让所有的信件在12点以前送到邮局。
