e.g. His second movie is less interesting.
他的第二部电影就没那么有趣。
2. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.
情态动词might 表达一种可能性及推测的不确定性，意思与表达可能性的may相当，表示“有可能，也许会”，但语气更加委婉，更不确定。
e.g. He might come, but it’s very unlikely.
他也许会来，但非常靠不住。
3. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.
it作形式主语
【梳理】
在英语中，如果主语是较长的动词不定式或一个句子，为了保持句子结构的平衡，避免头重脚轻，通常用it作形式主语放在句首，而把真正的主语放在句尾。
常见的句型有：
1) It is + adj. (+ for + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如：
It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour.
2) It is + adj. + of + sb. + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等，用来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。
如：It’s kind of you to say so.
