CLEFT sentences

Click on SLIDESHARE or on CLEFT to view a general explanation.

Remember the 2 most common types are WHAT and IT clauses.
The structures depend on where we wish to put the emphasis:

- focus on an action: WHAT+ S+ do+be+ (S)+ infinitive (plain, without to)
- emphasis on a whole sentence: WHAT+ happen+ be+ SVO

+++ the person (who).../ the reason (why).../ the place (where).../ the time (when)...
+infml+ the thing/ all/ something... + relative + be

- specific information : IT+ be (singular) + info+ relative clause (that/who)

Listening skills

Just a reminder of the notes about listening skills we discussed in class.

Before the exercise we must read the INSTRUCTIONS very carefully to find out information about: the topic, the speakers, possible distractors and how/where to write our answer.

Look at the layout of the exercise and underline/circle key words.

While the example is playing we can get used to the accent, intonation, rhythm and relax our hearing.
