此種以it作虛主詞的用法在英文中很常見。習慣上,英文句子的其他部分通常比主詞長,然而,如果主詞太長,往往會以it當虛主詞,而把真正的主詞往後移,以避免「頭重腳輕」的狀況。it作虛主詞時,後方的真主詞可以是不定詞、動名詞或名詞子句,而本課所介紹的是that所引導的名詞子句。請注意that子句當主詞時,不可以省略that。
另外,此句型多用來「表達事實」或「發表意見」。教師可以提醒學生一些常用於此句型的形容詞,像是clear、likely、sad、 important、possible、strange、interesting、 probable、true、certain、surprising等。
It is clear that the young man is lying.
It is likely that Andy will come to our place.
It is interesting that some people look like their pets.
除了that所引導的名詞子句,whether和how引導的子句也可以用於以it為虛主詞的句型中,例:
It is uncertain whether the vacancy will be filled soon.
It is amazing how Anne can collect so many stamps.
