不要误用which替代强调结构中的that

根据英语强调结构的基本格式it is (was)…that (who)…可知,不管被强调成分为指时间或地点,还是指原因或方式等,其后一律要用that,不可用when, where, why, how等。至于其中的who,它只用于被强调成分指人的场合。如:

他是昨天晚上才第一次亲她。

误:It was last night when he kissed her for the first time.

正:It was last night that he kissed her for the first time.

我昨天是由于想买本字典而进城的。

误:It was because I wanted to buy a dictionary why I went to town yesterday.

正:It was because I wanted to buy a dictionary that I went to town yesterday.
