②強調地點狀語　　

It was here that/where we met Mary. 　　

It was in your room that I left my gloves.　　

涂元晞等編著的《英語常見疑難選解》(江蘇科學技術出版社1981年12月第1版) p50認為：在強調時間或地點狀語時，通常還是用that。在現代英語中，也出現了用where 或 when 代替that的傾向。　　

王國棟編著的《大學英語深層語法》(清華大學出版社2005年1月第1 版)p748也有這樣的例句: I was yesterday that/when he bought an English book in town.　　

但被強調的地點狀語或時間狀語若是介詞短語時，則極少使用it was … where/when句型。　　

這一觀點在葛傳椝編著的《簡明英語慣用法》(上海譯文出版社1993年8月第1版) p151上得到驗證:　　

比較：It was in 1984 that he graduated.　　

It was 1984 when he graduated.　　

It is at a college in 　　Shanghai　　 that Professor Xia Yang is teaching biochemistry.　　

It is a college in 　　Shanghai　　 where Professor Xia Yang is teaching biochemistry.　　

另外，Pam Peters 在The Cambridge Guide to English Usage (2004)P10指出：That is also preferred to when and where by some, who would correct It was on Sunday when I saw him to It was on Sunday that I saw him. The basis of their objection is not explained, and when/where are certainly used as relative pronouns in cleft constructions. In speech, intonation makes their relative role clear, whereas in writing it may be ambiguous until you reach the end of the sentence.　　

③強調原因狀語(從句)　　

由because引導的原因狀語從句或because of短語可以作為被強調的成分。例如： 　　

It was because he was in great difficulty that I tried my best to help him.　　

I was because of the job that he had taken the flat.　　

但是由since或 as引導的原因狀語從不可以作為被強調的成分。 　　

④強調方式狀語(從句) 例如：　　

It was just as he ordered that I acted.　　

It was by herself that she went to school.　　

It was with a stick that I managed to beat the dog off.　　

⑤強調目的狀語　　

It was for fun that he played the part of a clown.　　

It is in order to serve the people better in the future that we should study hard now.　　

⑥強調表語　　

在連系動詞be后的表語不能作為被強調的成分。當動詞不是be時，還勉強可以。例如：　　

He is a teacher. 這個句子不能轉換為：﹡It is a teacher that he is. 　　

He has become a teacher. 這個句子轉換為：It is a teacher that he has become.還勉強可以接受。　　

⑦強調賓語補足語(名詞或形容詞)作為被強調的成分也僅屬于勉強可以。例如：　　

It was chairman that they elected him.　　

It was white that they painted the door.　　

注意：分裂句中的it在口語中也可以用this,  that, these 或those替代。例如：　　

That was the doctor I was speaking to. 　　

Those are my feet you are treading on.
