It作形式主语的用法

当代英语中,通常用it 做形式主语,将不定式和动名词置于谓语后面,特别是主语较长时,或在一些习惯用法中。

1) 谓语是系表结构(be + 形容词 / 名词)时,常将不定式后置,构成句型 it + be + 表语(形容词 / 名词)+ 不定式。

It is my duty to care for that patient.

照料那位病人是我的职责。(做主语的不定式to care for that patient 后置,it 为形式主语)

2) 当谓语是 take,make,pay,cost ,require, feel,need 等动词时,或者是与情绪有关的动词 delight,amuse,excite,annoy,irritate 等时,习惯上常用 it 做形式主语,并将不定式后置。

It takes only ten minutes to get there.
到那儿只需十分钟。

3) 同不定式一样,动名词也可用于it + be + 表语 + 动名词句型中。

It is a waste of time to argue with him
It is a waste of time arguing with him.
和他争辩是浪费时间。

4) 但表语是(of)no use,not any use,not the slightest use, no good, not much good,fun等时,常用动名词(不用不定式)做主语并后置,用 it 做形式主语。

例如 It's no use crying over spilt milk.覆水难收。

Who cares about that after they lose their child?
