In my previous post, I explored different ways we create emphasis, and I included cleft sentences. The effort I put into making that list will pay off even more as I move forward to create a new YouTube lesson, which will offer students more examples to illustrate the patterns used for stressing words and highlighting ideas. However, I realized I don’t have a set of ready-to-use practice items for the two most common cleft sentences: IT-clefts and WH-clefts. Exercises that I’ve found online mix too many types of clefts, and I feel this could create confusion.If you’d like to have two sets of straightforward statements that your students can use to rewrite as cleft sentences, take a look at my PDF handout.
