標題句：全六冊各種 it 的用法彙整

結 構：it 用法彙整

在國中階段，有關 it 的用法，其實也學得滿多的，本單元就是將所學過的這些用法，做個總彙整，也順便復習一下。復習的方式，除了條列之外，主要是以網頁連結的方式處理，以便有較完整的回憶：

一、it 留在腦中最簡單的概念，莫過於是指「非人」的單數名詞，例：

1. George: What is that?
　Mary: It is a balcony.（那是陽台。）
　── it 是指「陽台」。

2. Jim: Where's the candle I just used?
　Henry: It's on the second floor.（它在二樓。）
　── it 是指「我用過的臘燭」。

二、it 可用來指「時間」、「天氣」、「長度」、「距離」等，例：

3. Oh, my God. It's ten thirty now. I've to leave now.（天啊！已十點半了，我須得馬上離開。）
　── it 是指「時間」：。

4. It's very cold today. You can't go out without a jacket or sweater.（今天很冷，你不可以不穿外套或毛衣，就到外面去。）
　── it 是指「天氣」：

5. It rained a lot this summer.（今年夏天下了很多雨。）
　── 講到「天氣」時，若句中「動詞」為 rain/snow 時，則「主詞」一定要用 it。

6. It's over 62 miles from Chiayi to Kaohsiung.（從嘉義到高雄超過 60 哩。）
　── it 是指「距離」。

三、it 可用來當「假主詞」，代替原來「真主詞」的「不定詞片語」或「that + 名詞子句」，例：

7. It is really not easy to get up early in cold winter.（在寒冷的冬天早起，實在是不容易。）　
　── it 是指「不定詞片語」to get up early in cold winter：。

8. It's true that Mr. Lin is his English teacher in the next semester.
　 （林老師是他們下學期的英語老師，是千真萬確的事。）
　── it 是指「that + 名詞子句」that Mr. Lin is his English teacher in the next semester：。

四、That's it. 相當於中文的「那就對了；就是這樣子。」，例：

9. That's it. Don't move it any more. It looks the most beautiful this way.（那就對了，不要再移了，這樣子看起來最漂亮。）

it 也可能被用來指「和人有關」的情況下：

五、指「和人有關的情況或正在發生的事情」，例：

10. How's it going, Tom? I haven't seen you for a very long time.（Tom 最近如何？我已好久好久沒見過你了。）

11. The worst of it is the cell phone can't work and there're no public phones near here.（最糟糕的是，手機不能用，附近也沒有公用電話。）

六、指「尚不知其性別的嬰兒」，例：

12. Look at the baby. It has been smiling at you for a long time.（注意看那個嬰兒，它一直對著你笑好久了。）

七、用於「詢問是誰時」，例：

13. Someone is knocking at the door. Please go to see who it is.（有人在敲門，勞煩去看一下是誰。）

八、用於「說出誰在講電話」，例：

14. Hello, it's Chuck here.（哈囉，我是 Chuck。）
