Question

It was not until the midnight ___ John came home. 为什么填that而不填when？

我觉得要填that的话，应该在midnight前加一个at呀！！

Answer 1

1、这个题考查的是强调句型。It was ........that .......句型。强调句型去掉It was 和that 句子仍成立。比如题中的句子，去掉It was ........that .......之后J就成为，John didn't come home until the midnight .。
2、强调 until 句型时，如果前面是否定句，必须吧not 一并提前进行强调，所以就是It was not until the midnight 了。
3、做题时，一看到it was 就应该想到他是不是在考查强调句。这是做题技巧
希望这个答案你能满意

Answer 2

强调句型

Answer 3

是填that， 但这里是强调句结构it。。。。that，而且指的是某个特定的午夜，所以要用the
