英语中的常见的几种强调形式在描写或叙述过程中,有时为了加强语气,增加感情色情或加强对比,需要改变句子的结构,以突出强调句子中的某些成分,通常采用以下几种方式进行强调,今天一起来看看剑桥少儿英语常见强调句介绍,希望能够帮助大家。
1.用助动词do来强调
当句子中没有其他的助动词时,我们可以在动词前使用助动词do表示对该动词的强调,用于表示强调的do可以有时态的变化,但其后的动词要用原形,且do只用于现在时或过去式。
He does look tired.
He did come but soon went back.
She did write to say thank you.
2.所强调的状语为融词性短语
所谓副词性短语,就是指起副词作用可用状语的短语,如last week, some time ago, three days later等。如:
It was about 600 years ago that the first clock with a face and an hour hand was made.
第一面带有一个钟面和一根时针的钟是在大约600年前制造的。
It was only last February that he announced he would run for president.
去年2月他才宣布自己将参加总统竞选。
It was last night that John wore his best suit to the dance.
约翰是昨晚穿着他最好的衣服去参加舞会的。
3. 用某些形容词来强调
英语中用于强调的形容词比较多,比如那些表示“极端”和“完全”概念的形容词通常就可以用于表示强调,这类形容词主要的有:
mere 仅仅的 very 极端的
thorough 十足的 plain 完全的 complete 彻底的
pure 完全的 perfect 全然的
Jim looked a perfect fool.
We gave the room a thorough cleaning.
4. 用what从句来强调
当what的意思是表示“所……的……”时,它通常具有强调意味。
What he says is not important.
What you do is (to) mix the eggs with flour.
5.用句首位置来强调
在英语中,句首位置是通常用于表示强调的一个地方,当某个本来不应置于句首的成分放在句首,往往会对这个成分构成强调。
This the students can understand.
6.用某些副词来强调
英语中有不少副词可以用于表示强调,将副词放在想要强调的词的前面。
You may put the meeting off only when it is absolutely necessary.
7.所强调的状语为状语从句
It was after he got what he had desired that he realized it was not so important.
在他得到自己所渴望的东西后,他意识到那并不是那么重要。

一直到我读了她的信以后,我才意识到发生了什么事
8.用强调结构来强调
“it is (was)+被强调成分+that (who)+其他”结构。
