一、英语中强调句的形式
(1)用助动词“do(does/did)+动词原形”来表示强调。

她很熟悉那个城市。

你到那儿后务必去看望你的老师。
(2)用形容词very,only,single,such,last等修饰名词或形容词来加强语气。

这就是我去年到过的地方。

二、英语中强调句的特征
强调句的特征是:如果我们把“It be..that..…”从句中划去,所剩的正好是一个完整的句子。如:It is only men who do such a heavy job.只有男人才会干这种力气活。
三、英语中能被强调的句子成分
在强调句型中,能够被强调的句子成分通常为主语、宾语、状语等,不能用来强调谓语动词、表语、补语、让步状语、条件状语等。当被强调部分为人,且在句中作主语时,可用who,也可用that,其他情况一律用that。强调主语时,that后的谓语动词必须与被强调的主语在人称数量方面保持一致。如:
We're going to hold a sport meeting at school next week.
→It is we that(who)are going to hold a sport meeting at school next week.(强调主语)
→It is a sport meeting that we are going to hold at school next week.(强调宾语)
