- Ss listen to the T and take notes.
examples:
Cleft sentence is the sentence in which
we emphasize the information we want by
putting that information in the structure
It is/was+ the information that/who .
Ex: John drove us to the school yesterday.
(normal sentence).
" It was John who drove us to school
yesterday.
We can use the cleft sentence to
emphasize subject, object and adverb.
a. Subject focus: It is/was + Subject +
that
Ex: Tom posted the letter yesterday.
" It was Tom that posted the letter
yesterday.
b. Object focus: It is/was + Object + that

Ex: Tom posted the letter yesterday.

" It was the letter that Tom posted
yesterday.
c. Adverbial focus: It is/was + Adverb +
that
Ex: Tom posted the letter yesterday.
" It was yesterday that Tom posted the
letter.
