4. 強調句的特殊疑問句形式
強調句型的陳述句形式和一般疑問句形式一般還好理解，但若以特殊疑問句形式出現，則很容易誤解。比較：
Jim told us the news.(非強調句)
It was Jim that told us the news.(強調句型的陳述句形式)
Was it Jim that told us the news.(強調句型的一般疑問句形式)
Who was it that told us the news.(強調句型的特殊疑問句形式)
特殊疑問句形式的強調句可視為對陳述句強調中的被強調成分提問得來，如對It was yesterday that he arrived. 這一句中的yesterday提問，即得到When was it that he arrived?
其基本形式為It is (was) not until…that…。比較：
He didn’t come until his wife left. 他妻子走了之后他才來。
It was not until his wife left that he came. 他妻子走了之后他才來。
They didn’t start until the rain stopped. 直到雨停他們才出發。
It was not until the rain stopped that they started. 直到雨停他們才出發。
