是强调句型，强调的是时间。强调句型的结构为：It be + 被强调部分 +that/ who +…(指人时用that, who均可，指事物或情况用that). 这一结构用来强调句子的某一部分，it无词汇意义，只用于构成强调句型。
(1)My uncle bought a new car on Sunday.
-------It was my uncle who/ that bought a new car on Sunday.(强调主语)
-------It was a new car that my uncle bought on Sunday.（强调宾语）
-------It was on Sunday that my uncle bought a new car.（强调时间状语）
(2)强调句型的一般疑问句、特殊疑问句

a) 中国是在2001年底加入世贸的吗？

（3）如果原句中有not…until, 在强调时间状语时，将not until 连同状语一起提前。

It was not until she took off her sun-glasses that I realized she was a famous star.
(强调时间状语)
Not until she took off her sun-glasses did I realize she was a famous star.
(not until置于句首主谓倒装)
（4）怎样判断强调句型是否成立？强调句型只是附加在完整句子上的结构而已，所以去掉It be 和that/who 之后所剩的应是一个完整的句子。试比较：
It was at midnight that I got back home yesterday.
It was midnight when I got back home yesterday.
