    Cleft sentences help focus on a particular part of a sentence by putting everything except the object of emphasis into a relative-like clause linked by a form of the verb "to be". They are useful for giving emphasis in both writing and speech. The basic structure includes putting the object of emphasis after a form of "to be" and everything else into the relative clause. Other wh- words like who, where, and when must include a noun phrase when used in cleft sentences. It clauses also begin with "it" followed by a predicate and "that" to focus on a particular part of the content.
