用于哪些句式
it用作形式主语代替动名词的用法主要见于以下句式:

It’s no use shouting at him—he’s deaf.向他叫喊是没有用的——他耳聋。

2.It is good(nice, useless, interesting, pleasant, tiring, etc)doing sth。如: It is useless speaking.光说没有用。
It was pleasant sitting there.坐在那里很愉快。
It’s so nice sitting here with you.和你坐在一起真是愉快。

第二篇:2014届高考英语临考冲刺 语法讲解 关于分词作状语的逻辑主语问题
2014届高考英语临考冲刺语法讲解:关于分词作状语的逻辑主语问题 有这样一道题,涉及分词作状语时的逻辑主语问题:
Finding her car stolen, _________.A.a policeman was asked to helpB.the area was searched thoroughly
C.it was looked for everywhereD.she hurried to a policeman for help
【分析】此题最佳答案选D,因为句首用作状语的现在分词短语finding her car stolen的逻辑主语应是“她”,而不是 a policeman, the area, it 等,按照英语语法,在通常情况下,非谓语动词用作状语时,它的逻辑主语应与句子主语保持一致,所以最佳答案为D。请再看类例:
(1)To master a foreign language, _________.A.the school needs a foreign teacherB.a good teacher is needed
C.a lot of practice is neededD.one must have a lot of practice
【分析】此题答案选D,因为 to master a foreign language 的逻辑主语应是 one,而不是其他。
(2)_________ many times, he still didn’t understand it.A.Having been toldB.Though to be told
C.Having toldD.He was told
【分析】此题答案选A,因为根据句意,he 与 tell 应是被动关系;另外,从时间上看,应该是“被告诉”在先,“没有理解”在后,故要用 having been told 这一现在分词的完成被动式。注意不能选D,因为 He was told 与he still didn’t understand it 这两个简单句之间缺乏必要的衔接关系(参见下一题)。
(3)_________ many times, but he still didn’t understand it.A.Having been toldB.Though he was told
C.To have been toldD.He was told
【分析】此题答案选D,句中的并列连词 but 表明整个句子为并列句,同时表明 but 前应是一个独立的句子,而不能是一个非谓语动词短语(所以不能选A或C),又因为 though 为从属连词,用以引导让步状语从句,它与连接并列句的并列连词 but 不“兼容”,所以也不能选B。

2014届高考英语临考冲刺语法讲解:非谓语动词作主语时的主谓一致 非谓语动词(主要指不定式或动名词)作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数。如:
