t took both plants quite a while to catch on in Europe. 这句 是不是 形式主语it 代替 to canth on in Eruope啊？
要把 to catch on in Eruope 放在句首 该如何修改？？？

Answer 1

孩子啊 你既然已经知道it是形式主语 你也知道真正主语是后面的to do不定式to catch on in Europe啦 那么只要把形式主语it替换成真正主语to catch on in Europe变成To catch on in Europe took both plants quite a while.不就是你要的句子了么 Ps: in Europe其实是地点状语 状语在句子中的位置可以随便跑To catch on took both plants quite a while in Europe .其实也可以的 从语法上讲的通的 看你喜欢哪个 但从感情色彩上第一个句子更侧重于catch on 第二个则更侧重于地点 Pss：孩儿啊你要是看不懂后面的话 可以只看Ps前面的部分 后面讲的这些可能你们不要求的 以后学 嘿嘿 加油

Answer 2

是it代替to catch on in Europe
放在句首：To catch on in Europe took both plants quite a while.

追问

take + sth + 时间段
有这么个形式么？ 表达什么意思啊？

追答

其实it代替的就是to do sth.所以由It takes sb. time to do sth.就可以说：To do sth. takes sb. time. 只不过习惯上用It takes sb time to do sth.

Answer 3

To catch on in Europe took both plants quite a while。不过这句话意思很让人费解。
