About this document
Understanding Cleft Sentences by Gloria Espe is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses cleft sentences, which rearrange the structure of standard subject-verb-object sentences to add emphasis. It describes two main types: fronting, where the emphasized part is moved to the front of the sentence using "it" and a relative clause, and constructions using "the thing", "what", "all", etc. followed by a relative clause to emphasize aspects of the sentence. Examples are provided for both types of cleft sentences.
