Unit 10 it
1. 虛主詞 it is … that…
說明：虛主詞 it 可代替原本可能過長的主詞，讓整個句子看起來不會頭重腳輕，常見句型為：
It is adj. (for sb) to V. (it 代替 to V) (因為 adj.修飾 to V，因此用 for sb)
It is adj. (of sb) to V. (it 代替 to V) (因為 adj.修飾 sb，因此用 of sb)
It is adj. (for sb) that S+V. (it 代替 that S+V)
例句：
(1) It was exciting for us to hear the news. 聽到這消息真令我們興奮。
(2) It is kind of you to help me. 你人真好這樣幫我。
(3) It is surprising that the kid can jump so high. 這小孩可以跳這麼高真是令人訝異。

2. 虛主詞 it is P.P. that…
說明：本句型為虛主詞句型延伸，可以將原本公式中的 adj.，改為一些動詞的 P.P.，常見的有 thought、
said、reported、believed、expected、decided、rumored 等等。

(1) It is said that Danny is going to get married. 據說 Danny 要結婚了。
(2) It is thought that dogs are people’s best friends. 一般認為狗狗是人們最好的朋友。
= Dogs are thought to be people’s best friends.
（可以把 that 後的主詞移到句首，並將子句改為不定詞）
