请教英语语法分析

It's not as if he was very important in the company hierarchy.

呵呵，本人英语底子比较差，不知道如何分析这个语句，有那位一二？

   此句中的it意为"具体情况/情形".表语从句由that或as if引导.用that时从句用陈述语气,用as if时从句多用虚拟语气.非正式语体中,主语为第一或第三人称单数时,were被was代替.该句可译为:他在公司的地位并不重要. 类似的句子有:
    It seems as if the guest team would win.
    It seems that the guest team will win.
   两句都可分析为主系表结构. as if和that引导的是表语从句.
it不是形式主语,其意义为"具体情况/情形".

2. 表语从句：表语从句在句中作表语，位于主句中的系动词之后，如： The question is who can complete the difficult task . 问题是谁能完成这项艰巨的任务。
表语从句还可用 as if引导。
He looked as if he was going to impress everything in the room into his mind. 他看上去是要把屋里的一切都印入脑海
什么叫主语从句、宾语从句和表语从句？

唉，看来英语的基础知识要补充一下了

as if 是表语从句？
