注:强调句中的时态要根据原句的时态而定。即原句为过去某种时态,则强调句中的be就用过去时;原句为现在的某种时态,强调句中就用be的现在时态。有时还可以用It mightbe/must have been/can’t be…that等句式。
例句:

It might be thelack of guidance of parents that leads to the going astray of youngpeople.
强调句的判断:强调句型可以通过“还原法”来进行判断,若删除强调句型结构后,句子能还原为一个完整的句子,就是强调句。强调句可以看作是用固定的表达-It is/was…that(which, who, whom, where, when)…, 将句子的某个成分(除了谓语)进行重点强调。但是去掉这个固定的句型部分,句子本身并无任何变化。
