It was not until + trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian + THAT + S + V(ed/cột 2) + O: Mãi đến … thì…

E.g: It was not until midnight that he came back home.

(Mãi đến nửa đêm anh ấy mới trở về nhà.)

Phân biệt cấu trúc It was not until và Only when

Cách viết lại câu với cấu trúc It was not until và Not until

S + V until S + V. (hoặc trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian)
