Ngữ pháp

是…的句 — 强调时间 / 地点 / 方式 / 动作者 The 是…的 emphasis construction

"是…的"句用来强调过去某个事情的"时间 / 地点 / 方式 / 谁做的". 句式: 主语 + 是 + (强调成分) + V + 的. 例 (强调时间): 是昨天去的 = "It was YESTERDAY (that) I went". 例 (强调谁): 是我送的那本书 = "It was ME who gave the book". 例 (强调地点): 是在公司见的 = "It was AT THE COMPANY (we) met". 例 (强调方式): 是用微信发的 = "It was BY WECHAT (I) sent it". 关键: (1) 这个句型只用于过去事情. (2) 强调的部分在"是 ... 的"中间. (3) 不能省"是"或"的"——*是我送那本书 或 *我送的那本书 都不对 (后者是定语从句, 不是强调).

The 是…的 construction emphasizes time / place / manner / agent of a past action. Pattern: Subject + 是 + [emphasized element] + V + 的. EXAMPLES: 是昨天去的 ("It was YESTERDAY I went"); 是我送的那本书 ("It was ME who gave the book"); 是在公司见的 ("It was AT THE COMPANY we met"); 是用微信发的 ("It was BY WECHAT I sent"). KEY: (1) Only for past events. (2) The emphasized element sits between 是 and 的. (3) Don't drop 是 or 的 — *是我送那本书 or *我送的那本书 are wrong (the latter is a relative clause, not emphasis).

  • 是我送的那本书. Shì wǒ sòng de nà běn shū. It was me who gave that book.
  • 是昨天给你的. Shì zuótiān gěi nǐ de. It was yesterday I gave it to you.
  • 是在公司里见的. Shì zài gōngsī lǐ jiàn de. It was at the company we met.
  • 是用微信发的. Shì yòng wēixìn fā de. It was via WeChat I sent it.
