二、作非人称代词，表示时间、天气、季节、距离、环境等。

It will be lovely in the park today.今天公园里一定很好玩。

三、作先行词。

1.作形式主语。英语中不定式、动名词、主语从句在作主语时主语往往显得很长，使整 个句子看上去有点 头重脚轻，这样就借助“it”来作形式上的主语，而把真正的主语移到句 子后边去，使全句看上去平稳一些。 “it”没有实际的意义。

It is fun for her to study, but it is difficult to studyand work at the same time.对于她来说学 习是有趣的，可是要边工作边学习对她来说是困难的。

It is necessary for them to get an electrician to do thework for them.对他们来说请一位电工来为他们做这项工作是必要的。

It will be no good learning without practice. 学习而不实践是不好的。

It is no use talking to him about it.和他谈这事没用。

It is possible that they're finished the bridge.他们完成这座桥是可能的。

It is important that we should learn from each other andhelp each other.我们应当互相学习，互相帮助，这是很重要的。

2.作形式宾语。这种情况通常只用于能带以名词或形容词作宾语补语的动词后面。

This has made it necessary for agriculture and industryto develop very quickly.这就使得工 农业必须飞速发展。

四、构成强调句型。为了强调句子的某一成分，把引导词“it”用在句首，这种强调句 的结构是“It is （was ）＋所强调的成分（主语、宾语、状语）＋that…”，表达的意思为“是…， 正是…，就是…”。“it ”在这种句型中本身没什么实际意义。

My temperature! It's my back that hurts.我的体温！是我的背痛。

It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes. 决不只有盲人才犯这样愚蠢的错误。

这里需要说明的是：如被强调的是人，则后面用who或that，如被强调的是物或其他 情况，则用that。

It was yesterday that I met Bob in your room. 我就是昨天在你的房间遇见鲍勃的。

It was in your room that I met Bob yesterday. 我就是在你的房间昨天遇见鲍勃的。

It was Bob that I met in your room yesterday. 昨天我在你房间遇见的就是鲍勃。
