高考英语重难点之be of+ 抽象名词
考点梳理:
be of 后可接value,importance,use,help,significance,interest, benefit等一些抽象名词,说明句子主语所具有的作用、重要性或意义,等于be+对应的形容词:
be of value,importance,use,help,significance,interest,benefit
=be valuable,important,useful,helpful,significant,interesting,beneficial
在这类抽象名词前我们可用一些形容词,如: great, little, some, any, no, not much等来修饰抽象名词,用以说明程度。例如:
English is of great importance to us.
=English is very important to us.
英语对我们非常重要。
This was of no importance to the future.
= This was not important to the future.
这对未来一点都不重要。
高考常见于It is+adj+for sb to do sth=It is of+n+for sb to do sth
It is important for us to learn English well.
=It is of importance for us to learn English well.
对于我们来说学好英语是重要的。
