而对于主语从句这种情况,尤其是其主语从句比较长时,常常是将it作为形式主语,而把主语从句置于句子的后部,尤其是当从句由that引导或宾语较短时。it+连系动词+that从句是常见用it作形式主语代替主语从句的结构之一。而在it+连系动词+形容词+that从句的结构中,需要注意的是有些形容词要求主语从句使用虚拟语气,亦即主语从句的谓语采用should+动词原形的形式,当然在美国英语中,常常省去should,而直接用动词原形。这类形容词一般有:imperative, advisable, desirable, essential, important, natural, necessary, preferable, urgent等等。此外对主语从句作实际的主语用it作形式主语的还有一种结构是it+连系动词+过去分词+ that从句。

句子解析:with it 这个介宾短语中的it指的是this指代的内容,sothat的结构表示如此的怎么样以至于怎么样了,即that引导的句子是结果状语,which引导的定语从句是用于修饰Homicide Act of 1957的。
