是強調句型，強調的是時間。強調句型的結構為：It be + 被強調部分 +that/ who +…(指人時用that, who均可，指事物或情況用that). 這一結構用來強調句子的某一部分，it無詞匯意義，只用于構成強調句型。
(1)My uncle bought a new car on Sunday.
-------It was my uncle who/ that bought a new car on Sunday.(強調主語)
-------It was a new car that my uncle bought on Sunday.（強調賓語）
-------It was on Sunday that my uncle bought a new car.（強調時間狀語）
(2)強調句型的一般疑問句、特殊疑問句

Was it at the end of 2001 that China joined WTO?
a) 中國是在2001年底加入世貿的嗎？

（3）如果原句中有not…until, 在強調時間狀語時，將not until 連同狀語一起提前。
I did not realized she was a famous star until she took off her sun-glasses.（句型轉換）
It was not until she took off her sun-glasses that I realized she was a famous star.
(強調時間狀語)
Not until she took off her sun-glasses did I realize she was a famous star.
(not until置于句首主謂倒裝)
（4）怎樣判斷強調句型是否成立？強調句型只是附加在完整句子上的結構而已，所以去掉It be 和that/who 之后所剩的應是一個完整的句子。試比較：
It was at midnight that I got back home yesterday.
It was midnight when I got back home yesterday.
