Warming up
1) What is it that Joe can’t find in the bathroom? Joe在盥洗室找不到的是什么東西？
What is it that …? 來自于強調句。強調句的框架：It is + 被強調部分 + that …。
用法指導：為了便于說明之，我們先引進一個“母句”。
母句：I saw a friend in the street yesterday.
→It was I that (或who) saw a friend in the street yesterday. (強調主語)
→It was ___ __________ that __ _____ in the street yesterday. (強調賓語)
→It was __ ____ _________ that __ ______ a friend yesterday. (強調狀語)
→It was ___________ that __ ________ a friend in the street. (強調狀語)

Was it yesterday that you saw a friend in the street?
_______ _____ ____ (到底在哪) that you saw a friend yesterday?
What is it that Joe can’t find in the bathroom?
2) for the first time 首次，第一次（狀語結構）

對過去的推測，用must have + 過去分詞：

6) at all 一般用在否定句，幫助加強否定的語氣，如：

用在肯定和疑問句的時候，有懷疑的口氣：
Did you know the city at all? 你到底了解這座城市嗎？
