it
You use it to refer to an object, animal, or other thing that has just been mentioned.
Be Careful!
When the subject of a sentence is followed by a relative clause, don't use 'it' in front of the main verb. Don't say, for example, 'The town where I work, it is near London'. Say 'The town where I work is near London'.
You can also use it to refer to a situation, fact, or experience.
Be Careful!
You often express an opinion using an -ing form or to-infinitive after a verb such as like. When you do this, don't use 'it' in front of the -ing form or infinitive.
Be Careful!
For example, don't say 'I like it, walking in the park'. Say 'I like walking in the park'. Don't say 'I prefer it, to make my own bread'. Say 'I prefer to make my own bread'.
It is often the subject of a linking verb such as be.
You can use it as the subject of be to say what the time, day, or date is.
You can also use it as the subject of a linking verb to describe the weather or the light.
You can use it with a linking verb and an adjective to describe an experience. After the adjective, you use an -ing form or a to-infinitive. For example, instead of saying 'Walking by the lake was nice', people usually say 'It was nice walking by the lake'.
You can use it with a linking verb and an adjective to describe the experience of being in a particular place. After the adjective, you use a phrase referring to the place.
You can use it with an adjective or noun phrase to comment on a whole situation. After the adjective or noun phrase, you use a that-clause.
After an adjective, you can sometimes use a wh-clause instead of a that-clause.
Be Careful!
Don't use 'it' with a linking verb and a noun phrase to say that something exists or is present. Don't say, for example, 'It's a lot of traffic on this road tonight'. Say 'There's a lot of traffic on this road tonight'.
