Question

5．是因为下大雨了，我才回家晚了．（用强调句型）It was because of the heavy rain that I got home late．/It was because it rained heavily/hard thatI got home late．．

Answer 1

分析 是因为下大雨了，我才回家晚了．

解答 答案：It was because of the heavy rain that I got home late．/It was because it rained heavily/hard that I got home late．
解析：题目要求用it is…that这一强调句型，该句型的特点是去掉it is…that之后句子的主体部分仍然完整；根据中文提示可知，本题所强调的部分是原因状语（从句）"因为下大雨"．"因为下大雨"有两种表达方式：1）because of the heavy rain；2）because it rained heavily/hard．综上，本题答案为：It was because of the heavy rain that I got home late．/It was because it rained heavily/hard that I got home late．
