6. It + be + 时间 + since-clause
It + be + 时间 + before-clause
It + be + 时间 + when-clause
It + be + 时间状语 + that-clause
It + be + time + that-clause
It / This / That + the first(second , third …) time + that-clause
在学习中，同学们对“It + be + 时间 + 从句”这个结构经常混淆不清，下面逐一进行分析。
（1）It + be + 时间 + since-clause
这个句型表示从since 从句谓语动作发生以后到现在或过去所经过的一段时间，意为“自从……以来已多久了”，主句多用一般现在时，从句用一般过去时，如果表示过去的情况，主句用一般过去时，从句用过去完成时，或主句用过去完成时，从句用一般过去时。
例如：It is (has been) three years since his father passed away. （从现在算起）
自从她的父亲去世已经三年了。
It was (had been) 10 years since they married. （从过去算起）他们结婚十年了。
注意：It’s + time +since I did sth. 其中从句的动词是可延续性的动词时，则表示从句的动作已经结束，译成汉语是否定的。
例如：—Have some Maotai, please. —No, thanks. It’s three years ______ I drank.
A. before B. since C. after D. when
答案B。该句意为：不，我已经戒烟三年了。与上下文语境符合。
（2）It + be + 时间 + before-clause
这个句型中的时间一般为表示一段时间的词语（如：long years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes），主句中的谓语动词用肯定式，意为“过多长时间才……”。主句的谓语动词是否定式时，意为“没过多长时间就……”。主句的时态可用过去时was或将来时will be；用was 时，before从句的动词用一般过去时；用will be 时，before从句常用一般现在时。
例如：It was not long before she learned those poems by heart.
她没过多久就背会了那些诗歌。
It was long before the police arrived.过了很久警察才来。
It will be hours before he makes a decision.要过好几个小时他才会做出决定。
It will not be hours before meet again.要不了几个小时我们还会再见面的。
（3）It + be + 时间 + when-clause
这是个定语从句。在这个句型中, it 指时间，而且表示时间的词语前没有介词（时间一般为具体时间）。主句中的谓语动词和从句中的谓语动词在时态上一般是一致的。
例如：It was already 8 o'clock when we got home. 我们到家时已经八点了。
It was the next morning when we finished our work. 第二天早上我们才干完活。
It will be midnight when they get there. 我们到达时将会是午夜了。
（4）It + be + 时间 + that-clause
这个句型是个强调句型。
例如：It was two years ago that he made an important invention.
（原句是：He made an important invention two years ago.）
是在两年前他做出一项重大发明。
It was at 5 o'clock that he practiced playing the violin in the morning.
（原句是：He practiced playing the violin at 5 o'clock in the morning.）
早上他练习拉小提琴的时间是在五点钟。
比较：It was 5 o'clock when he started in the morning.
（5 o'clock前没有介词，这是个定语从句）
（5）It + be + time + that-clause
这个句型属虚拟语气结构，不管主句中用的是 is 或 was ，that从句都须用动词的过去式或should + 动词原型（但不及用过去式普通），在time之前有时可加上high或about 以加强语气。
例如：It is time (that) we handed in our exercises.
（= It is time that we should hand in our exercises.）
我们该交练习作业了。
It is high time (that) she wrote a letter to her boyfriend.
该是她给男朋友写信的时候了。
（6）It / This / That + the first(second , third…) time + that-clause
这个句型表示截止到说话时为止的某人的一种经历，关键是注意time前有序数词，主句是is时，从句要用现在完成时；如果主句用一般过去时was，则从句须相应地用过去完成时。
例如：This is the first time (that) these Europeans have visited the Great Wall.
这些欧洲人是第一次参观长城。
It was the fifth time (that) I had paid a friendly visit to Africa.
这是我第五次友好访问非洲了。
