Introduction to cleft sentences
A cleft sentence is a sentence formed by a main clause
and a subordinate clause, which together express a
meaning that could be expressed by a simple sentence
Clefts typically put a particular constituent into focus
This focusing is often accompanied by a_ special
intonation
In English, a cleft sentence can be constructed as
follows:
It + conjugated form of to be + X + subordinate clause
It is a dummy pronoun and X is usually a noun phrase
(although it can also be a prepositional phrase, and in Whole class
126
Trang 17Time Steps Work
arrangement some cases an adjectival or adverbial phrase) The
focus is on X, or else on the subordinate clause or some
elements of it For example:
Y Itis Joey that we're looking for
Y It's money that I love
Y It was from John that she heard the news
Y It was meeting Jim that really started me off on
this new line of work
Cleft sentences are used to help us focus on a
particular part of the sentence and to emphasize what
we want to say by introducing it or building up to it
with a kind of relative clause
Cleft sentences are particularly useful in writing where
we cannot use intonation for purposes of focus or
emphasis, but they are also frequently used in speech
Further explain if necessary and illustrate with
examples so that Ss can understand the grammar point
thoroughly before doing the exercise
PRACTICE 2
Have Ss work in pairs and rewrite the sentences using
the structure It is /was that to emphasize the
underlined part of each sentence
Go round the class and make sure Ss do the exercise
correctly
Call on some Ss to read aloud their sentences in front of
the class

1 It’s my stamp collection that I like looking at
2 It’s dogs that are faithful animals
3 It’s going shopping that Jane prefers
