it was in New zealand ____ Elizabeth first met Mr.Smith.
这个句子我觉得是填that,标准的强调句型,但大家老师说填where也可以。强调句的it无所指,假如把这个句子中的it理解为指代某个东西,就变成:它(这个东西)是在新西兰。然后用 where 引导定语从句对新西兰进行限定,伊丽莎白首次遇到史密斯先生的新西兰。如此理解能否?
It was in New Zealand ____ Elizabeth first met Mr. Smith.
【答】这个句子填where的话,强调句不允许,定语从句讲不通。因此,填that万无一失!
假如被强调的是地址副词,其余部分除去用that引导外,偶见用where引导。
假如被强调的是时间副词,其余部分除去用that引导外,偶见用when引导。
假如被强调的地址或时间是介词短语等其他形式,则不可以用when 或where引导,只用that。
比如:
1. It was yesterday that he bought an English book in town.
2. It is here that he must wait for her.
3. It was in this room that we had a heated discussion.
4. It is at ten o’clock that the meeting will take place.
