# Grammar #

## it做形式主语 ##

当句子较长时，可以用it作形式主语，而把真正的主语放后面，从而避免头重脚轻的感觉。  
例如，  
To be late every day is wrong.  
这是正常的语序 (word order)，主语(subject) 是 to be late every day；但是这个主语有点太长了。

于是可以将句子变成，  
It is wrong to be late every day.  
这里，it是形式主语，也成为先行主语(preparatory subject)。

*  It is difficult for a foreigner to learn Chinese.
 *  It is unfair for him to be punished.
 *  It is a pity to have no opportunity.
 *  It is a great pity to miss an opportunity.
