威威老師的文法特快車:強調句與附加問句 (Cleft Sentences & Tag Questions)


哈囉各位同學!我是威威老師。

來,比較這兩種寫法:

A: "John bought a book yesterday."(普通陳述) B: "It was John that bought a book yesterday."(強調是「約翰」)

兩句意思相近——但 B 把「John」拋光、放大、聚焦——這就是英文的強調術

英文有 3 種主要的「強調工具」:

  1. It is/was...that...(分裂句)
  2. do/does/did + 原形(強調動作真實性)
  3. 倒裝(已講)

加上附加問句 (Tag Questions) ——「對吧?」「不是嗎?」這個英文人每三句講一次的口語神器——今天威威老師一次教給你!

繫好安全帶 🚂


課前快問 (Pre-Quiz)

  1. I will call you as soon as I ____ home.(will get / get)
  2. Choose: (A) Because he studied hard, so he passed. (B) Because he studied hard, he passed.
  3. He was ____ hungry ____ he ate three bowls.(such...that / so...that)

解答:

  1. get — 時間子句不用 will。
  2. (B) — Because/so 不共存。
  3. so...that — hungry 是形容詞 → so。

Part A:強調句 (Cleft Sentences)


一、It is/was...that... 分裂句

1-1 核心觀念

把想強調的部分放進「It is/was ___ that ___」框架裡,聚焦那一塊!

1-2 操作 3 步驟

原句:John bought a book yesterday.

Step 1:找——你想強調哪一部分?
Step 2:放——把它放在 "It is/was" 後面
Step 3:連——用 "that" 連接剩下的部分

1-3 強調不同部分

強調 強調句 中譯
主詞 John It was John that/who bought a book yesterday. 是約翰昨天買了書。
受詞 a book It was a book that John bought yesterday. 約翰昨天買的是書。
時間 yesterday It was yesterday that John bought a book. 約翰是昨天買的。

1-4 that vs. who vs. which

強調對象 連接詞
強調人 thatwho
強調物 thatwhich
強調時間/地點/其他 that
萬用選擇 that(永遠正確)

💡 威威建議: 不確定就用 that

1-5 時態:is 還是 was?

原句的時態決定:

  • 原句過去式 → It was...that...
  • 原句現在式 → It is...that...

It is/was 強調句即時練習(5 題)

1. Choose: It was Mary ______ saved the drowning child. (A) which (B) what (C) that (D) whom

2. Choose: It was in Paris ______ they first met. (A) where (B) which (C) that (D) what

3. Convert: "John broke the window." → 強調 John

4. Choose: It was ______ he was angry.(強調原因) (A) why (B) because (C) that (D) what

5. Translate: 「就是這本書改變了我的人生。」(Use It is...that)

寫好答案再往下看 👇

解答與詳解

第 1 題:(C) that — It was Mary that/who saved...(強調人,that 或 who 都可)。

第 2 題:(C) that — 強調地點 → 用 that。

第 3 題:It was John that/who broke the window.

第 4 題:(C) that — It was [because he was angry] that ... → 強調原因子句也用 that。 完整:It was because he was angry that he left.

第 5 題:It is this book that changed my life.


二、do/does/did 強調句

2-1 核心觀念

在動詞前面加 do/does/did,強調「真的、確實」!

2-2 公式

時態 公式 例句
現在式 (I/you/we/they) do + 原形 V I do like you!
現在式 (he/she/it) does + 原形 V She does work hard.
過去式 did + 原形 V I did finish it.

2-3 助動詞後接原形動詞!

❌ He does works hard. → ✅ He does work hard. ❌ I did finished it. → ✅ I did finish it.

2-4 使用情境

情境 例句
反駁懷疑 "You don't care about me." → "I do care about you!"
強調事實 I did tell you about it yesterday.
加強語氣 She does look like her mother.

寫好答案再往下看 👇

解答與詳解

第 1 題:(B) did — 過去式 + 強調 → did + 原形 finish。

第 2 題:(B) does — 現在式 + 三單 → does + 原形 know。

第 3 題:works → work — ✅ She does work very hard.(does 後接原形)

第 4 題:I do love this movie.

第 5 題:finished → finish — ✅ I did finish my homework.


三、Not until 的三種寫法

「直到...才...」的三種句型——強調力度遞增

3-1 三種寫法對比

原句:I didn't know the truth until yesterday.

寫法 結構 例句
基本型 S + didn't + V + until + 時間 I didn't know the truth until yesterday.
強調型 It was not until + 時間 + that + S + V(肯定) It was not until yesterday that I knew the truth.
倒裝型 Not until + 時間 + 助動詞 + S + V(原形) Not until yesterday did I know the truth.

3-2 強調型注意:that 後子句用肯定

❌ It was not until yesterday that I didn't know the truth.(雙重否定錯!) ✅ It was not until yesterday that I knew the truth.(肯定)

3-3 倒裝型注意:助動詞 + S + 原形 V

Not until + 時間 + did + S + 原形 V(不能用過去式!)

Not until 即時練習(5 題)

第 1 題:(D) that — It was not until + 時間 + that...

第 3 題:It was not until it was too late that I realized my mistake.

第 4 題:Not until it was too late did I realize my mistake.

第 5 題:Not until he left did I realize how good he was.


Part B:附加問句 (Tag Questions)


四、附加問句的核心規則

4-1 黃金原則:前肯後否、前否後肯

主要子句 附加問句 例句
肯定 否定 You are a student, aren't you?
否定 肯定 She doesn't like coffee, does she?

4-2 結構

附加問句 = 助動詞/be 動詞(肯定/否定)+ 代名詞

動詞類型 例句
be (現在) You are happy, aren't you?
be (過去) She was late, wasn't she?

一般動詞 (現在) She likes tea, doesn't she?
一般動詞 (過去) They went home, didn't they?

解答與詳解

第 1 題:(B) aren't you — 前肯後否,be 動詞 are → aren't。

第 2 題:(A) does she — 前否後肯。

第 3 題:(A) haven't they — have been 是完成式(助動詞),直接用 haven't。

第 4 題:can't he? — can → can't。

第 5 題:didn't you? — 過去式 went → didn't you。


五、特殊附加問句 — 必背!

5-1 必背特殊搭配

句型 附加問句 例句
Let's... shall we? Let's go, shall we?
Let me/us...(不含聽者) will you? / may I? Let me help, will you?

There is/are... isn't/aren't there? There is a problem, isn't there?
This is... isn't it? This is your book, isn't it?

因為 am not 沒有縮寫(amn't 不存在)→ 借用 aren't!

對 ✓ 錯 ✗
I am tall, aren't I? I am tall, am not I?
I am tall, don't I?

5-3 Let's vs. Let me/us

Let's Let me/us
包含聽者 ✓(你和我) ✗(只有我或我們)
附加問句 shall we? will you?

第 3 題:(B) will you — 祈使句 → will you。

第 4 題:(B) aren't there — There are → aren't there。

第 5 題:Let's go to the movies, shall we?


六、否定詞 + 肯定附加問句

句中含「否定意味」的詞 → 算否定句 → 附加問句用肯定

6-1 否定詞清單

否定詞 例句 + 附加問句
never He never lies, does he?
seldom / rarely She rarely smiles, does she?
hardly / scarcely I hardly know him, do I?
few (可數) Few people know this, do they?
little (不可數) There is little time left, is there?

意義 算肯定/否定 附加問句
few 很少(幾乎沒) 否定 肯定 (do they)
a few 還有一些 肯定 否定 (don't they)
little 很少(幾乎沒) 否定 肯定 (is there)
a little 還有一些 肯定 否定 (isn't there)

第 3 題:(A) do they — nobody 否定 → 肯定 do they(用 they 不用 he)。

第 4 題:(C) does he — few 否定 + has 是「有」(一般動詞)→ 借 does。

第 5 題:(A) is there — little 否定 → 肯定 is there。


七、考試陷阱大整理

陷阱 1:It is/was...that... 強調句的判斷

看到 It is/was + N + that → 強調句(不是名詞子句)

陷阱 2:do/does/did 後接原形動詞

❌ does works → ✅ does work

陷阱 3:Not until 三種寫法

強調型 that 後肯定;倒裝型助動詞 + 原形

陷阱 4:have 的雙重身份

have「有」→ do/does/did;have(完成式)→ have/has/had

陷阱 5:I am → aren't I!

不是 am not I 也不是 don't I!

陷阱 6:否定詞 + 肯定附加問句

never/hardly/few/little/no/nobody → 算否定 → 附加問句肯定

每學一個規則,問自己「為什麼是這樣?」

例如:

  • 為什麼 I am 的附加問句是 aren't I? → 因為 am not 沒有縮寫(amn't 不存在),所以借用 aren't。
  • 為什麼 nobody 用 they 不用 he? → 因為 nobody 雖單數,但指代「不確定性別的人」,用中性的 they 最自然。
