▌例句:Amy 今天帶了個美味的蛋糕給我。
原句:Amy brings me this delicious cake today.
強調 Amy:It is Amy that brings me this delicious cake today.
今天帶了美味的蛋糕給我的人就是 Amy。
➤解:原句為現在式,所以寫強調句時需用 It is …。強調 Amy,故將 Amy放在 It is 後方,又關係代名詞 that 代替 Amy,為第三人稱單數主詞,搭配現在式第三人稱單數動詞 brings。
強調 this delicious cake:It is this delicious cake that Amy brings me today.
Amy 帶給我的就是這個美味的蛋糕。
➤解:原句為現在式,所以寫強調句時需用 It is …。強調 this delicious cake,故將 this delicious cake 放在 It is後方,再接上 that 子句。
強調 today:It is today that Amy brings me this delicious cake.
就在今天,Amy 帶了個美味的蛋糕給我。
➤解:原句為現在式,所以寫強調句時需用 It is …。強調 today,故將 today 放在 It is 後方,再接上 that 子句。

強調 due to new evidence:It is due to new evidence that the police reopen the five-year-old case.
就是因為有了新證據,所以警方重啟五年前的舊案。
➤解:原句為現在式,所以寫強調句時需用 It is…。強調 due to new evidence,故將 due to new evidence 放在 It is 後方,再接上 that 子句。
▌例句:我悲痛地寫信通知他,他的父親已於昨天離世。

強調 with great sadness:It was with great sadness that I wrote to inform him that his father died yesterday.
