it is sad that she could not arrive. could you pl explain the position and parts of speech of 'IT' in the given sentence

1 answer

The word "It" is serving as the subject of this sentence, but it's a pronoun that has no antecedent in this construction. It's simply used as filler!

Go to the very bottom of this website:

Read 35e (1.).

And this one: http://college.cengage.com/english/raimes/digitalkeys/keyshtml/check_f3.htm

Good sentences will not begin with "it."
