It is ten o'clock now. (代時(shí)間)
It is far from here to the airport. (代距離)
It is very hot.(代天氣)
It is very difficult to learn English well. (作形式主語(yǔ))
We found it very difficult to answer the question. (作形式賓語(yǔ))
[誤]Be careful. Don't drink too many.
[正]Be careful. Don't drink too much.
[析]這里much所代的應(yīng)是飲料或水，所以應(yīng)為不可數(shù)名詞。
