高中教科书及练习题中强调句出现的特别多，在高考题中也时有出现。它的实用性强，易与其它句型相结合。而学生在训练中只掌握了强调句的基本句型，对其变式及活用却掌握甚少。为使学生真正理解和运用强调句，教师可按以下步骤对其进行讲解。
一、介绍强调句的基本概念
强调句是强调句子的某一部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语），人们用强调句来表达自己的意愿或情感。如：We met him at the school gate yesterday.
→ It was we who/ that met him at the school gate yesterday.
→It was him who/ that we met at the school gate yesterday.
→It was at the school gate that we met him yesterday.
→It was yesterday that we met him at the school gate.
强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问句形式：一般疑问句——Is/ Was it + 被强调部分+ that/ who…；特殊疑问句——特殊疑问词+ is/ was it + that…
二、关于强调句的几个问题
1.连接词的使用
若被强调部分是人则可使用that/who；若强调的是其它部分则一律用that。
2.若强调部分为人，连接词后的谓语动词要与被强调部分保持人称和数的一致。
三、进行几个题组训练
1.填that
对强调句的考察一般以填that为主，通过几个陈述句，一般疑问句及特殊疑问句的呈现，让学生进一步感知强调句的构成。
2.填it
对强调句的考察偶尔填it。通过此组训练加深学生对强调句的理解，判断强调句的方式是把it be与that去掉看句子是否还完整，若完整就是强调句。
3.强调句与从句的连用
强调句常与定语从句连用，而此种情况一般第一个空为定语从句，第二个空为强调句。强调句也会与名词性从句连用。如The question is whom it is that we can turn to for help.
4.看似强调句，但并非强调句
从句式上看有些句子很像强调句，但仔细分析则有可能是定语从句或状语从句或其它。
（1）What time did you come back yesterday？
—It was 11 o’clock I arrived home.
A before B that C when D until
（2）Where did you get to know her？
—It was on the farm we worked.
A that B there C which D where
（3）（2011福建）It was April 29，2011 Prince William and Kate Middle-ton walked into the palace hall of the wedding ceremony.
A that B when C since D before
（4）How long is it we last spent the holiday in the country together？
A before B when C since D that
（5）试比较：It was at midnight I got back home yesterday.
It was midnight I got back home yesterday.
（6）试比较：It was two years ago I began to learn English.
It was two years I began to learn English.
（7）试比较：It was two years he came back from abroad.
It was two years later he came back from abroad.
（他两年以后回国）
5.对not…until…这个句型进行强调
句型为：It is/was not until….that…碰到该句型要进行判断时要把否定词not还原到主句中。
6.强调句的特殊疑问句形式
强调句的特殊疑问句形式常放在动词后作该动词的宾语，此时强调句的特殊疑问句形式要用陈述句语序。
