We know that every sentence in English should contain a subject and a verb. But what can we do with impersonal sentences? We can use for them the so-called formal or preparatory "it". This "it" does not possess any lexical meaning. For example, "It is known that English is spoken in the USA" (Who knows it? Everyone). Or "It is expected that robots would replace humans" (Who expects this? General public and the scientists). 1. It is that not many people can speak more than three foreign languages. 2. It is that we should learn from the early age. 3. It is that the concert would be delayed. 4. It is that we throw away about 300 kg of rubbish a year. 5. It is that there might be a hurricane in a couple of days. 6. It is that we all could live happily. 7. It is that the rates of obesity might increase. 8. It is that they would divorce.
